The terran tech lab is an add-on in StarCraft II. Its modular design enables it to be attached to a barracks, factory or starport.[1]
A structure attached to a tech lab can produce a higher tier of units. For instance, a factory attached to a tech lab can produce siege tanks,[2] a barracks attached to a tech lab can produce marauders,[3] and a starport attached to a tech lab can produce banshees and nighthawks.[2][4]
Note that a terran structure cannot be attached to both a tech lab and a nuclear reactor, so it cannot enjoy the benefits of both.[1]
