Labs and Simulation Spaces

Room C230, also known as the Mock Courtroom, provides a realistic environment for students in our Paralegal program to develop their advocacy and procedural skills.  It is used for simulated hearings, mock trials, and oral advocacy exercises.  This space also supports demonstrations and experiential learning activities that help students apply legal theory to real-world scenarios. This space is also utilized by students in the Police Foundations program.

In the Monitoring and Communications Lab students receive training on the installation and maintenance of various systems, including fire alarm systems, emergency nurse call equipment, access control, industrial and residential security systems, as well as home automation technologies. This hands-on education prepares students to meet the diverse needs of modern electrical systems and enhances their expertise in ensuring safety and efficiency in various environments.

Our MRI Facility is equipped with a SIGNA™ Premier 3.0T from GE Healthcare and supportive resources. This machine is a beneficial and robust resource enabling advancements in imaging for various initiatives, educational delivery, clinical care and research projects.

The Centre for Integrated and Advanced Medical Imaging (CIAMI) gives students hands on access to our state of the art MRI system, opening the door to cutting edge learning and real world research opportunities. From exploring the brain to advanced cardiac and breast imaging, this space lets students experience the same technology used in leading hospitals.

This is a hands-on teaching lab where students in health-related programs explore and apply nutrition principles in real-world contexts. In this space, learners engage with food science, dietary analysis, nutrient evaluation, and other practical aspects of nutrition to deepen their understanding beyond the classroom. By working with tools, resources, and guided instruction, students build skills in assessing nutritional content, applying diet-related knowledge, and connecting theory to practice as part of their experiential learning experience.

Oil Heat Technicians specialize in the operating, troubleshooting and servicing of a variety oil-fired appliances within our oil lab. They are dedicated to restoring and maintaining equipment to ensure optimal efficiency and safe operating conditions. This hands-on experience equips technicians with the skills necessary to excel in the oil heating industry.

Used mainly by Biotechnology students, featuring equipment for organic synthesis and purification along with new digital microscopes for advanced analytical work.

Linked to IDEAWORKS, this is a collaborative "Capstone" space. Students from different programs work together on real-world prototypes and applied research projects for local industry partners.

In a manufacturing plant, the effective control of devices, motors and processes is essential for ensuring the continuous movement of materials and the production of high-quality products. Our students gain hands-on experience with motor controls utilizing programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and focus on the collection, management, display and application of machine data. This training is crucial for developing the skills needed to optimize manufacturing operations and improve overall efficiency.
