The Research Lab is an advanced scientific building of the Modern Era in Civilization VI. It is built in the Campus district and requires a University (or one of its replacements).

Strategy

The Research Lab is a high-level building that boosts a city's Science Science output. It provides Gold Gold with Third Alternative, so if you're aiming for a Science Victory and have many cities with Research Labs, you may want to gear your civic development toward discovering Totalitarianism even if Fascism isn't your government of choice.

It also increases the yields of specialist slots, so make sure you are working those after building it! That is, if the city is only there to generate Science Science. That is the case more often than not if you are going for a Science Victory.

Building a Research Lab triggers the Inspiration Inspiration Inspiration for Nuclear Program.

Civilopedia entry

A research lab is an institute devoted to the advanced study of a subject, which might be medicine, physics, chemistry, robotics, clean energy, or new products for TV infomercials. Such labs may be publicly funded or run by wealthy corporations looking for profits; research labs may be attached to universities or they may be independent of academic boundaries and ethics. It is pretty clear that “efficient” research labs are the future of research in every discipline. As civilization’s understanding of the world has advanced, the days of the dedicated scientist working alone in his or her basement and shouting “Eureka!” have all but passed. Whatever understanding Mankind may gain of the natural world, whatever new tech toy may grab his attention, whatever improvement of his daily life may come, whatever horrors may be unleashed, it will likely come out of a research laboratory, whether large (CERN’s Large Hadron Collider) or small (computer simulation modelling).
