Research temples represented a specific kind of Jedi temple utilized by the Jedi Order to conduct research activities. A prime example of this type of temple was the Batuu Jedi temple.
These research-focused temples incorporated Artifact Containment Rooms, which served the purpose of examining items possessing unclear origins or unique capabilities. Prior to the year 232 BBY, Jedi Master Sylwin, accompanied by her Padawan Ady Sun'Zee, transported an Ancient Sith Runestone to the Batuu temple for analysis. In order to facilitate this research, Sylwin proposed to Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus that the floor of the Artifact Containment Room be made adaptable. Vitus considered this a valuable concept and proposed the implementation of comparable adjustments to the Containment Rooms across all research temples.
