History
Eobard Thawne had created S.T.A.R Labs after taking on the identity of the real Harrison Wells.[1]
Ronnie Raymond, Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow worked on the particle accelerator; the latter two had Grodd tested for his increasing intelligence at the facility.[2]
At some point, the janitor put too much wax on the floor, causing the Flash to have an accident.[2]
In early 2020, a reporter from CatCo Worldwide Media did an article for CatCo Magazine after taking a tour of the facility.[3]
As J'onn J'onzz explained the purpose of the Tower, Kara Danvers compared it to S.T.A.R. Labs and the Arrowcave.[4]
Because Chester P. Runk worked on the Mobile Gideon unit, Barry's mind became trapped in the body of Grodd temporarily.[2]
Caitlin created a new version of Velocity X so that Wally West and Barry could stop Frida Novikov.[5]
Eobard Thawne was removed from Harrison Nash Wells' mind.[6]
Some time after learning that the Artificial Speed Force machine did not work, Barry and Cecile Horton confronted Mirror Iris, with Nash holding the Reflection at gunpoint, about her true identity. With the help of Eva McCulloch, who switched the Prismatic filter with a substitute, "Iris" passed her test while Barry failed, causing him to be temporarily locked in the pipeline until Cecile freed him.[7]
Hartley Rathaway observed as Roderick Smith was brought here from Mercury Labs; Team Flash wanted to cure Smith so that Rathaway would help them to fight Godspeed who attacked Barry in the facility while they were trying to find a way to free Iris, Kamilla, and David Singh from the Mirrorverse.[8]
Harrison Nash Wells teleported Team Flash and Joseph Carver here to keep Barry from succumbing to the temptation that "David Singh" was proposing where he would trade Iris, who was trapped in the mirrorverse, for Carver.[9]

Cisco Ramon's workshop
Cisco Ramon uses this room to come up with ideas and build new things. Since Cisco did a trip to research on the changes of the crisis; Harrison Nash Wells currently uses the workshop.[10]

Trivia
- According to a magazine published by CatCo Worldwide Media, this version of S.T.A.R. Labs has a tour.
- This might be a reference to when H.R. Wells had wished to make a tour of the Earth-1 S.T.A.R. Labs.
- As Barry hasn't said otherwise, he very likely inherited S.T.A.R. labs from Eobard Thawne the same way as on Earth-1, thus making him the owner again.
