New Buildings
In early November 2006 Bromley Council granted Langley Park Boys a sum of £32.3-million as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme for a complete rebuild of the school, including state of the art facilities shared by Bromley Youth Music Trust, which currently use facilities at the Ravensbourne School.
Headteacher Rob Northcott, said at the time, "The rebuilding of our facilities will bring real benefits to the whole community. Future and current pupils will obviously gain immensely from this project, but we want to ensure that the benefits are felt even more widely."
Construction of the new main building started in early 2010 and has been completed on the site of the old rugby field. Originally the building was planned to begin construction 2008 for completion in late 2009, but due to legal issues with the neighbouring Langley Park School for Girls the building work was delayed, on the grounds that the new construction would interfere with access to their own buildings.

Famous quotes containing the word buildings:
“If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means—from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
