LAB
Technical shorthand term
A lab is a laboratory—a room or building equipped for scientific experiments, medical testing, or technical work: The blood samples were sent to the lab.
Lab also names a Labrador retriever, the popular breed of dog.
In both uses, lab is simply a clipped form of the longer word.
