Morphology
The meaning 'a room or building equipped for scientific experiments...' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'science' (methodical investigation) with 'lab' (facility for experiments). This is a regular noun–noun compound following common cross-linguistic patterns and is likely immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Science lab puts together science (the study of how things work) and lab (short for 'laboratory', a place to test ideas). So a science lab is a room with tools where people do 'experiments' and learn, which is why it means a place for scientific work and teaching.
