lab space

Where experiments happen

Lab space is the physical area designated for laboratory work—research, experiments, or technical activities requiring specialized equipment.

The term appears frequently in academic and biotech contexts where such facilities are scarce and valuable: The university is adding 50,000 square feet of lab space, Startups compete for affordable lab space in the city.

It encompasses not just square footage but the infrastructure that makes scientific work possible: ventilation, power, safety systems.
