research facility
Place for experiments
A research facility is a building or complex where scientific investigation, experimentation, or development work takes place.
These range from university laboratories to government installations to corporate R&D centers.
The term often appears in contexts involving medicine, technology, or defense: The pharmaceutical company opened a new research facility in Boston.
Research facility sounds more formal and institutional than simply "lab," and may suggest a larger operation with multiple functions.
