New building type - Research center

Obviously it's something mid-late game and for high intelligence settlers. It could offer alternate way to unlock new things plus provide different bonuses to settlements.
you can also use it for a tech tree building (a low tier building that you need to unlock new buildings translated by google translator
 
You say "Obviously" I'm not sure it's as obvious as you think that people will know exactly what you have in mind if you limit yourself to one line and a title. What type is it? Sub type? What does it do? Is it part of the industrial chain? What's the cost? Anything?

It could be a Municipal or a new plot type. If it's a new plot type, it can be separated to Agricultural research, Industrial, etc.
Bonuses could be, for example, faster upgrades, extra production, lower food/water/energy costs, etc.
As for unlocks, it's an alternative to a caravan discovery.
The cost is time, I think. You could speed up the research process by donating items like documents or books you find as loot (not overdue books, since those are not a renewable resourse)
