THIS IS THE MIGRATION FILE

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class AddFacilitiesToImagesNewTable extends Migration
{
/**
 * Run the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function up()
{
    Schema::table('images_new', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->string('facilities');
    });
}
/**
 * Reverse the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function down()
{
    Schema::table('images_new', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->dropColumn('facilities');
    });
}
}

Please what is causing the error

Follow this line of thought, Class AddFacilitiesToImagesNew can't be resolved.

In the error traceback, a line that determines class name from file name was printed.

$class = Str::studly(implode('_', array_slice(explode('_', $file), 4)));

It strictly follows that your class has to be named AddFacilitiesToImagesNew in the migration file.

Check that in 2018_05_26_085447_add_facilities_to_images_new.php, the migration class is rightly named AddFacilitiesToImagesNew.

Edit: One more thing, migrations need not be namespaced. If this one needs to be for whatever reason, make sure that it's added to your composer and that you do dump the autoload file.
