When I was in school I had the lathe, drill press and other machine shop tools in my laboratory along with all of the traditional chemistry lab equipment.  I fail to see the difference here.  Whether you call this a lab or a machine shop it was a part of here "Chemistry Lab" environment and the distinction is surely irrelevant to her friends and family.
