This study examines the roles of laboratory and library facilities in enhancing students� interests and performances in science subjects. Recognising the critical need for practical and theoretical knowledge in science education, this study highlights how access to well-equipped laboratories facilitates hands-on learning, allowing students to directly engage with scientific concepts and experimental procedures. This practical experience not only solidifies theoretical understanding but also stimulates curiosity and interest in scientific exploration. By providing access to current scientific literature, multimedia resources, and study spaces, libraries enable students to deepen their knowledge and stay updated with the latest scientific advancements. The study delves into the aspects of laboratory, science subjects, laboratory facilities, and the academic performance of a student, giving results that indicate a positive correlation between the availability of these educational facilities and the improvement of student outcomes. Indicating that students with regular access to laboratories and libraries demonstrate higher engagement levels and better academic performance in science subjects compared to those with limited access. The study examines the potency of laboratory facilities in promoting student performance in science subjects and the potency of laboratory facilities in promoting student interest in science subjects, showing how laboratory performance is a vital access for student success, as well as the effect of library facilities on student interest and performance in science subjects. The study concludes that by engaging in experiments and witnessing scientific principles in action, students become more motivated and confident in their abilities, which translates into improved academic performance. One of the recommendations provided was that educational authorities should prioritise the development and maintenance of modern laboratory facilities in schools. Well-equipped laboratories enable students to engage in hands-on experiments, which are crucial for understanding complex scientific concepts.
