<p>I agree with Volker and I also woul like to underline how in
Italian we use the sister word "laboratorio" (<i>both com from the
Latin "labor, "work"</i>) for some craftmanship activity: we
call a "laboratorio" also the places where a goldsmith or an
orthodontic mechanic performs their craft, and the same for many
others. I'm unsure if there is a similar usage in English too, but
just in case...</p>

<br>
The two near me (GE Global Research Center; Knolls Atomic
Power<br>
Laboratory) I've simply tagged 'landuse=industrial'. Both are
mostly<br>
devoted to the development of industrial processes, from early<br>
experiments at benchtop scale up to pilot plants. Both have<br>
occasionally even gone into manufacturing specialty
components,<br>
usually when attempts to build out the process elsewhere
encountered<br>
unexpected difficulties. One is my employer.<br>
<br>
Most of the buildings on the GE site are tagged
'building=industrial'.<br>
(The fire house, the fitness centre, the power plant, the
sewage<br>
treatment facility, and the on-site hotel are tagged as
such.) Most<br>
of the buildings have both labs and offices and I've not
attempted to<br>
do any indoor mapping to separate the two.<br>
<br>
Conditions in the laboratories vary from "experimenters work
in shirt<br>
sleeves" to "experimenters work in space suits".<br>
