Lavatory or lavatory means a washroom, a bathroom, or a room with a basin or sink--
Teacher, may I go to the lavatory?
There is a lavatory on one side of the visiting room.

Laboratory or laboratory means a room equipped for scientific experiments, observations, or investigations--

"Make sure to wash your nin the lavatory after using the chemicals in the laboratory."
