Tech lab (Tiberium Wars)

After the firestorm crises ended and the world became divided into "zones" Nod became aware of the need for facilities that were more geared to studying Tiberium. Nod gradually phases out their technology centers of the TWII and replaced them with Technology labs. While these facilities were still used to provide manufacturing support for bases as the technology centers had they were also geared better for newer research and development. To minimoize damage from bombing threats, a concern Nod had had from GDI's advance air divisions of the Second Tibeirum War, the facility was located mostly below ground.

The technology lab was unnecessary for producing Vertigo bombers, beam cannons, Obelisks of Light, the Temple of Nod and its nuclear weaponry guidance systems, Tiberium chemical plants, stealth tanks, Avatar Warmechs, and in conjunction with the secret shrine, the Commando (Nod) in Nod bases.
