research
Spaces for experimental research and scientific and technological development.
Research facilities are places devoted to scientific or technological research and experimentation. They are commonly affiliated with universities, institutes, governments, and industrial firms.
The dedicated activity is scientific or technological investigation and experimentation. Affiliation with a university, government, or company is common but does not by itself establish research use for all of that organization's premises.
Scientific research and technological research distinguish fields of inquiry. Classroom teaching and ordinary institutional administration have different immediate purposes, even when they support the same institution.
