The six boys' houses consist of Bartle Frere, Batten, Edmonstone, Kipling, Thomason, and Trevelyan. These former boys' houses have been converted into girls' houses: Colvin, Lawrence, Melvill, Allenby, Alban's and Hailey. The [[Alan Ayckbourn|Ayckbourn]] Theatre functions as a modern auditorium with a fully equipped stage and back-stage. In 1997, the college chapel [[Pipe organ|organ]] was re-built by the German organ builder [[Klais Orgelbau|Klais]].
 
In additional to the existing facilities, building is underway for a new science and technology centre, scheduled to open in the Autumn term 2023.

The previousHaileybury institutioncampus tooriginally occupybelonged theto, Haileybury siteand was occupied by, the [[East India Company College|East India College]] (EIC), the training establishment founded in 1806 for administrators of the [[East India Company|Honourable East India Company]]. The EICEast India College was initially based at [[Hertford Castle]], but substantial grounds in Hertford Heath were acquired for future development. [[William Wilkins (architect)|William Wilkins]], the architect of [[Downing College, Cambridge]], and the [[National Gallery, London|National Gallery]] in London, was appointed principal architect. The buildings compose four ranges which enclose an area known as Quad, the second-largest academic [[Quadrangle (architecture)|quadrangle]] in Britain after [[Christ Church, Oxford]].<ref>{{cite journal|title=''Country Life'' (2009), Volume 203|year=2009|, page= 28}}</ref> In the wake of the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]], the East India Company was nationalised, and its College closed in January 1858.
 
The East India College closed in 1858 and, four years later, Haileybury College was set up as a boarding school for boys on the site. The first headmaster was [[Arthur Gray Butler]]. In 1942, Haileybury and the [[Imperial Service College]] (which had itself subsumed the [[United Services College]]) merged to become Haileybury and Imperial Service College, now referred to simply as Haileybury.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.haileybury.com/the-school/a-brief-history|title=The story of Haileybury|website=Haileybury|access-date=21 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110812041706/http://www.haileybury.com/the-school/a-brief-history|archive-date=12 August 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>▼
In 1862, a public school opened on the site, with [[royal charter]] being received in 1864.
 
The Chapel dome was added by [[Arthur Blomfield|Sir Arthur Blomfield]] and completed in 1877. Further Victorian additions were designed by [[John William Simpson (architect)|Sir John William Simpson]]. The Memorial Hall, the school's dining hall, was opened by the future [[King George VI]] and [[Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother|Queen Elizabeth]], and acts as a monument to former pupils who gave their lives in the [[First World War]]. During the past 40 years, its use has been extended to commemorate deaths of OHs in all military conflicts.
 
The dining hall contains one of the largest unsupported domes in Europe. Until the 1990s, the entire school of over 700 pupils dined there at a single sitting, all brought to silence for grace by the beating of a massive brass [[howitzer]] shell, captured from a German gun emplacement during the [[First World War]] and then converted into a [[gong]]. A gilded plaster boss in the centre of this dome represents an oak tree being struck by lightning. Known as Little Lightning Oak, this decoration represents the massive oak tree that stands on the lawn in front of Terrace, the promenade visible in this photograph. This tree was struck by lightning and, all but destroyed, re-sprouted.
 
As well as the wooden tablets surrounding the exterior of the dining hall, there are other memorials to the school's 1,436 war casualties. In memory of Haileyburians who died in the [[Second Boer War|Boer War]], a war memorial [[obelisk]], of Portland stone with bronze decorations by [[Charles Wellington Furse]], former pupil, was erected on the main axis of the school's entrance front in 1903; it was designed by another former pupil, [[Reginald Blomfield|Sir Reginald Blomfield]]. Also designed by Sir Reginald is the memorial on Terrace, originally built to commemorate those lost in the First World War; it was unveiled by [[Alexander Godley|General Sir Alexander Godley]] on 7 July 1923. Known as the [[Cross of Sacrifice]], this simple stone structure serves as a prototype for war memorials found in every [[Commonwealth War Graves Commission|Commonwealth War Cemetery]] and other war memorials around the world.
 
Seventeen former pupils of Haileybury and its antecedents have received the [[Victoria Cross]], and three the [[George Cross]]. Amongst public schools whose pupils have been awarded the Victoria Cross, Haileybury is in the top three, alongside [[Eton College|Eton]] and [[Harrow School|Harrow]].

In the late 20th century, reforming headmaster [[David Jewell (headmaster)|David Jewell]] took charge of Haileybury, bringing it out of its post-Cold War austerity. [[Stuart Westley]], Master of Haileybury until July 2009, was responsible for making the school fully co-educational.<ref>''The Times'', Obituaries, July 2006</ref>
