Always check Research Unlocks for the requirements for unlocking things in game.

For the R&D Lab, you'll require the final office (the technology park, the one that allows for 6 employees and your player; level 4) as well as some employees (or yourself) being specialists where design is dominant (ie. Gameplay, Story/Quests, Dialogues, World Design, or Sound [not sure if Graphics counts, too]).
