This is a research lab nestled precariously in the caldera of an active volcano. Above the close-study platform, enclosed in a cube of concrete, are three levels: storage, recreation, control. The only means of access for scientists travelling to and from the lab is the weekly helicopter drop to the helipad on the roof.

There are actually two variants of this level available. In addition to the full LavaLab, there is a post-disaster version, LavaLab: Erupt.
