The Nature Lab at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) is a natural science research facility housing laboratories and a large collection of biological specimens. It was founded by RISD graduate Edna W. Lawrence in 1937, and laboratory space the Edna W. Lawrence Natural Collection, microscopy laboratory, and wet laboratory

Lawrence's intention was to "open students' eyes to the marvels of beauty in nature...of forms, space, color, texture, design and structure."
