The U.S. stands out from the crowd in many ways, but average test scores in science and math usually don’t place our nation in the top tier. While there are many top-notch educational facilities in our country, from elementary all the way up to college, overall, the American educational system could use a major overhaul. Students simply haven’t been keeping up with those in other nations when it comes to learning the basics of math and science, a fact that could leave us behind in an economy driven by technology.While there are many nations with amazing educational systems that you might expect to outpace American students in science, there are a number of other, more surprising, countries that fare better as well. Here, we’ve listed just a few of the countries you might not expect to best us in science scores, but that national studies have found actually do — with some beating Americans quite soundly.

Science and research programs can bring millions of dollars to college campuses in the form of alumni donations and research grants. While these dollars may result in state of the art facilities, they do not always mean that science labs are housed in beautiful new buildings. Many science labs are more practical than they are attractive, and the fun, cutting-edge architecture on campus may be saved for theaters, student unions, and other facilities.Of course, that’s not the case on every campus, and there are some colleges and universities that boast some pretty amazing buildings for their laboratories. Here, we’ve compiled a list of some of the coolest, most interesting, and newest science laboratories across the nation, though it is by no means a definitive account of all that are out there. Seeing and learning more about these buildings may just make you want to sign up for a science class of your own so you can hang out in one.
