R&D facility

Innovation hub building

An R&D facility is a site where research and development takes place—laboratories, testing centers, or specialized buildings where companies or institutions work on creating new products, improving existing ones, or advancing scientific knowledge.

The pharmaceutical company opened a new R&D facility in Boston.

These facilities typically house scientists, engineers, and specialized equipment for experimentation and prototyping.
