There is a Sports Centre (known as "SPLASH"), a brand new science scentre (SC, opened september 2012), a humanities building ("Leelands"), a Design Technology centre, Study Centre ("SCN") and a newly furbished Theatre (finished Summer 2007). The Study Centre consists of the Eugenia Leung library and new-age classrooms featuring interactive whiteboard technology and an IT cluster known as "break-out". A new theatre and drama teaching complex has recently been completed, at the cost of £2.3 million.
