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:
“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“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)
