Laboratory
Accoriding to part of Wikipedia
The title of laboratory is also used for certain other facilities where the processes or equipment used are similar to those in scientific laboratories. These notably include:
- film laboratory or darkroom
- clandestine lab for the production of illegal drugs
- computer lab
- crime lab used to process crime scene evidence
- media lab
- medical lab (involves handling of chemical compounds)
- public health lab
In recent years government and private centers for innovation in learning, leadership and organization have adopted "lab" in their name to emphasize the experimental and research-oriented nature of their work.
