Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'science' (methodical investigation) + 'laboratory' (room for experiments); the compound simply specifies the type of laboratory. This straightforward noun–noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and should be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Science laboratory comes from putting together science (the study of nature) and laboratory (a room for work and experiments). Long ago, places where scientists did experiments and taught students were called laboratories, so the phrase means 'a room or building for experiments and research'.
