Mobile Processing Lab and Crew Capacity

[RocketBlam]

On these missions to build an outpost or space station that can hold X crew, does the Mobile Processing Lab count toward Crew Capacity?

Yes, everything that adds crew slots counts as crew capacity.

Thanks!

Would the external seats count? This could save a fair bit of weight on my 11 kerbal capacity station

Seats do not count for those contracts.

OK, now I have another question.

I launched a space station with seating for 15, like it said in the contract, but it does not recognize it as having a 15-Kerbal capacity. It has 2 Hitchhikers (4 each), a Mk 1-2 command module (4), a lab (2) and a single Mk1 Lander can, attached via a docking port. But the "crew capacity" part is still unfulfilled. Is having the pod attached with a docking port the reason? Does it not count if it is attached with a port?

Edit: D'oh! I thought the Mk1-2 held 4, it only holds three!

Now I have to send another mission up there. Hopefully I can dock something that holds 2 kerbals (in place of the ship with 1) and it will work.

Actually, it does count if a kerbal occupies that seat. They can even leave an empty space to sit in a seat, thus fulfilling the role of two kerbals.
