Notes
The Laboratory was "up and running" with these patch notes, along with Battle Sprites. Before this patch, the Lab was an area under construction that could not be entered. It was mentioned in these patch notes.
As of these patch notes, the lab's appearance now changes if the player has completed certain Rank Missions.
Like other areas on Cradle, the lab is a location with sub locations as time goes on. On the loading screen, "Laboratory: The Lab" might seem redundant, but this flexibility is needed considering Cradle as a whole - see the 4-2 Rank Mission A New Threat for a different loading screen to the same location, which says "A New Threat: The Lab." This indicates that entities of interest are located in "The Lab" - a specific floor or location in an overall area, while titles like "Laboratory" refer to the entire area, structure (or "building"), mission, and so on.

Here are some screenshots of objects and characters you might see in the Lab:
The laboratory before the 2014-05-21 patch.
With all Rank Missions completed, the player might see these things in the lab:
West Area The Drakon type of Battle Sprite seems to be getting some attention. Some basic Sprites are to the left.
Center Area Various Boss components ("Boss Trophies") are being studied in front of the Skylark's backup generator. Biscotti and the Sprite Food Alchemy Machine are to the left.
East Area Research on Almire is being done here via Owlite texts and Nature Sprite anecdotes. A Recon Ranger fiddles with things to the right.
Middle-Northern Area This path leads North. A bell used to stun enemies in the Gloaming Wildwoods can be seen. An Alchemy Machine stands nearby.
North Area The Artifact has been stolen. Some minerals are being studied up here by Geoknights.
