German term

Gewerk Labor

German to English Tech/Engineering
I've got a contract to translate by Monday. It's about expanding the facilities in a laboratory, but I have no idea what kind of lab it is, i.e. what sorts of things they do there. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have. I believe TGA stands for technische Gebäude Ausrüstung.

Contract item: Laboratory

Here's a definition I found several times related to construction & contracts. The term Gewerk has driven me up the wall several times already.

Contract Item (Pay Item):
A specifically described unit of work for which a price is provided in the contract. Each pay item is numbered and is paid for under the terms of the specification section of the same number.
Peer comment(s):

agree Edward L. Crosby III : This is correct; "project lab" is not what the German says or means.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I selected John's proposal because he pointed the way to using the term project with two possible meanings - contract project and a lab where projects are worked on."

laboratory division

Labor is short for laboratory
Gewerk is normally a trade, or a craft. In this context I'd rather use the division as it states the 'things to do' of the laboratory as such.
Hope this helps,

Project Laboratory or Technical Systems Laboratory or Staging Laboratory

In recent weeks I have seen Gewerk translated as 1) various technical systems, 2) stages of a building project, and 3) project.
Try one of these on. It seems that the last rendition above might fit your context best.

laboratory part

i.e. of overall project. Other possible options: "laboratory section" or "laboratory lot". I think "Gewerk" here serves to separate that part of the overall project which concerns the laboratory from (any) other parts. One of my clients uses the term "lot" when it concerns "Planung, Abwicklung".
