These can be commercialfirms, part of the government, or
part of a <br>
university etc.<br>

They usually specialise in one field so will need sub tags.</blockquote>

<div>I would question whether we put all kind of "laboratory"
into the same category and distinguish them by subtags. There
are too many different kind of things that could be
subsummized as "laboratory". Think about eletronic
laboratories, chemistry research labs, biochemical labs, labs
for human healtcare analytics, etc.</div>
<div>First distinction could be "research lab" vs. "analytical
lab" vs. maybe more types, and these should IMHO become main
tags, not subtags.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is also some potential confusion with the word
"laboratory" being used as a hyped name for workspace where
you would not expect it, e.g. software laboratory,
architectural design laboratory, art laboratory, etc.</div>
<div>So we would need some definition, what the criterion for
"laboratory" is (or is it the name?).</div>

To me a true 'laboratory' has controlled environmental conditions,
usually temperature is tightly controlled, the better labs have
humidity control probably not as tight. <br>
They may have other things controlled too - such as radio
interference, dust. <br>
<br>
A software, art or architectural design laboratory would not meet
these conditions. The key being that the control is tighter
(narrower) environmental control than, say for example, an office
environment. <br>
