has two houses in each building except for the two in the middle (Nyali and Suswa), which are home to one house each. Each house originally had its own house colours, which were reflected in the members' sports kits and tie pins, but this was phased out sometime in the 1970s. However, the house emblems still adorn the front facade of each house. The area where the houses are located is known as down blocks by the students. The houses of residence are built next to each other in a semi-circular shape, clockwise from north to south as follows: Tausi (formerly Huxley), together with Sabaki (Kerby) Chania (Beale), together with Yala (Nightingale) Nyali (Mortimer) Suswa (Mitchell) Sagana (Hamilton), together with Naivasha (Bronte) Mara (Curie), together with Baden Powell has retained its name, and is often referred to by its acronym, BP) Phased out day-scholar houses include: Tsavo (Northcote) Galana (Darling) Amboseli (Stott) There is a resident matron (housemistress) for every block (two boarding houses) except Nyali and Suswa, which each have their own matron. Matrons are generally responsible for welfare and disciplinary matters in their individual houses. Facilities Tuition takes place "up-school" which consists of two rows of classrooms and some laboratories (junior and senior corridors). The two corridors are connected at the western tip by a quadrangle consisting of a lecture theatre and laboratories for biology, physics, chemistry and home science. The Computer Centre was later constructed behind the lecture theatre. The school's own chapel, which was dedicated between the late 1950s and early 1960s, sits between the boarding houses and tuition blocks. With a two-level seating capacity, it houses a piano and a digital church organ, and has a unique architectural design in the form of a cross when viewed aerially. While dining was previously catered for via the old dining hall (currently used for assemblies and other meetings), the school now has a recently constructed modern kitchen and dining complex, whose foundation stone was laid by then President Uhuru Kenyatta in May 2018. This hospitality space was constructed with Ksh 7 million in government funds, was officially commissioned in 2020 and can seat 2,500 students. There is also a well-stocked library, and a Science & Technology Centre is in the planning, with Ksh 7 million already earmarked for its completion. Installed by the late 1960s, the Art Studio and Music Room contain spaces for visual and performing
