The physical lab wasn't a part of the history of humanity, what was done there -- that's what is important. The building was not in good shape and the landlord(s) have had trouble finding long term tenants for the site for decades. A shopping mall and high density housing are a much better use for the site. The building may be gone, but memories of Shockley, both the good and the bad, live on.
