The creation of natural science facilities is influenced by the ongoing transformation processes in science, nature, and society. The article discusses a number of techniques used in world practice over the past 70-80 years in the design of laboratory natural science buildings. Among them are the unification and modular regulation of solutions, reservation of space and equipment, various methods of engineering and technical support, etc. The expansion of the processes of interpenetration of sciences and interdisciplinarity of research, the introduction of high–tech innovations increase the diversity and flexibility of design solutions – functional, architectural, constructive. As a result of the requirements of sustainable architecture, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness of solutions, the techniques of "passive energy design" have been developed. The growing need for information support, interpersonal contacts, comfort and safety of the working environment, advertising and education have led to the fact that the sustainability of solutions is complemented by the techniques of "social engineering" aimed at increasing the efficiency of the scientific process. The examples given in the article from world practice show that when implementing design solutions for natural science laboratory buildings, scientific complexes themselves are often sites for the creation and testing of certain new technologies and contribute to the development of progressive techniques of sustainable architecture.
