The Environmental Technology facility located at the Wright College north campus has classrooms and laboratories that are modern and fully equipped with the appropriate tools, instruments and supplies for air monitoring, testing, emergency preparedness and protective gear. The computer lab with Internet access teaches students how to find information from public sources such as the EPA and OSHA regarding policy and regulations.

We incorporate hands-on-training experiences in all of our classes. Simulations are used to illustrate the situations that may develop at a factory, facility or various job sites. For example, barrel and container spills and leaks are reenacted so students can learn proper response techniques including stopping the leak, cleaning up the debris and disposing of the waste.

Our dedicated chemistry lab is used to demonstrate the principles of environmental hazards including corrosively, reactivity, toxicity and flammability. All are done in a lab with the necessary safety equipment including eyewashes, showers and non reactive surfaces.
