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.
First distinction could be "research lab" vs. "analytical lab" vs. maybe
more types, and these should IMHO become main tags, not subtags.

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.
So we would need some definition, what the criterion for "laboratory" is
(or is it the name?).

Cheers,
Martin
