How to tell whether you are working in a school tech lab or an industry tech lab:

Are all the specialized machines 15 to 40 years old?

Do the specialized machines have to be wheeled out from storage every time you want to use them?

If either answer is yes, you know you are in a school's tech/medical lab.
