So it is a lab which functions literally as a 'loja'
Nasty neoligism it might be, but I'd leave it as it is.

Explanation:
It appears to be a takeoff on the idea in English of workshops. "Laboratório" is a place in Portuguese but not an activity, as it is in English - hence the need to coin an equivalent for the English 'lab' that students do along with coursework.

agree  Luciano Eduardo de Oliveira: Talvez seja isso, mas com a ressalva que laboratório também pode ser atividade em português, ver Houaiss 2009 e as ocorrências de "fazer laboratório de" na internet.
