Science - Science (general) / Operational Procedures for Research
Spanish term or phrase: naves experimentales
Procedural description for a research project using insects. Here's the sentence in question:

"Así mismo, cabe aclarar que este proyecto no propone en ningún momento la liberación en campo de los mosquitos modificados genéticamente, ya que las actividades de investigación se llevaran a cabo en naves experimentales de alta seguridad que serán ubicadas en la localidad de XYZ."

So far I have used "research facilities," but I am having doubts.

Thank you for your help.
