Our Chemistry Department has had service dogs in their 100-level labs and have developed a standard process for managing that. Let me know if you would like me to ask if they have a contact point I can share.
They do list this as a resource on their website:

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Service Dogs in Teaching Laboratory
Hello,
I'm reaching out as I got contacted by a professor about a student bringing a service dog in an organic/biochemistry lab for nursing students. We had a request back in 2023 by my predecessor,
so we have the documentation for this request. This is raising concerns for me, the professor, and chemical stockroom personnel, and I plan to have a discussion with the student and TA and Chemical Stockroom Manager.
Does anyone have experience with service dogs in lab spaces?
Thank you,
