This site is where Professor Elvin Gadd creates his inventions to catch the ghosts of the mansion. The Drafting Table Main article: The Drafting Table The last one in the lower shelf called 'Encyclopedia Bootanica' has information on how to actually catch ghosts. The first one in the middle shelves has written the history of Luigi up to that point, including several unseen details about the character, and the second one contains basic information about the game itself. However, the player can not open it and the text implies someone is holding them shut.
The book on the upper shelf contains methods to exterminate ghosts. In this section, the player can click on books containing information about the game, ghosts and the main character, Luigi. The Bookshelf Main article: The Bookshelf For each of these sections, there is a small flask the player can click on to exit the place and return to the lab. Some also provide never seen information of Luigi. Some of these sections serve as games and some others provide cinematics and screenshots from Luigi's Mansion.
The lab only serves as the entrance to the minigames and sections the player can also visit. Sometimes an orange ghost flies out the green door on the far right, the buried skeleton's eyes move and some of the machines start operating by themselves. Once the player enters the lab, it shows an overview with some machines and objects to interact with.
