, the Upper School.
The Middle School completed a four-year modernization effort in September 2008, replacing the original administration building, the library, and the instrumental music building. The new campus features a new library, two levels of classrooms in the Academic Center, the new Seaver Science Center, a turf field, a new administration office, a putting green, a long jump pit, and a large parking lot. Perhaps the most impressive addition of the modernization project is the Bing Performing Arts Center which features a two-level 800-seat theater, a suite of practice rooms, a few large classrooms for band, orchestra, and choir classes, a black box theater, a dance studio, and a room filled with electric pianos for the purpose of composing electronic music. As of November 2006, a fund raising campaign has commenced for the modernization of the Upper School.
Remnants of the former Middle School campus include Reynolds Hall, now used for art, history, and foreign language classes, the Marshall Center which houses a gymnasium, weight room, and wrestling room, the 25 yards (22.9 m) swimming pool and diving boards, the outdoor basketball court, and a tennis court.
The Upper School features the Munger Science Center and computer lab; Rugby building which houses the English department, 300-seat theater, costume shop, and drama lab; Seaver building, home to the foreign language and history departments as well as administrative offices and visitor lobby; Chalmers which houses the performing arts and math departments, book store, cafeteria, beloved sandwich window, and student lounge; and the Feldman-Horn visual arts studios, dark room, video labs, and gallery.
The athletics facilities include Taper Gymnasium, used for volleyball and basketball; Hamilton Gymnasium, the older gymnasium still used for team practices and final exams; Zanuck Swim Stadium, for the aquatics program; and Ted Slavin Field, which features an artificial FieldTurf

History
Harvard-Westlake is the product of the 1991 merge between the Harvard School for boys and the Westlake School for Girls.Harvard School
The Harvard School for Boys was established in 1900 by Grenville C. Emery as a military academy, located at the corner of Western Avenue and Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. In 1911, it secured endorsement from the Episcopal Church becoming a non-profit organization. In 1937, the school moved to its present-day campus on Coldwater Canyon in Studio City after receiving a loan from Sir Donald DouglasDonald Wills Douglas, Sr.

Westlake School
The Westlake School was established in 1904 by Jessica Smith Vance and Frederica de Laguna in what is now downtown Los Angeles, California as an exclusively female institution offering both elementary and secondary education. It moved to its present-day campus located in Holmby Hills, California in 1927. The School was purchased by Sydney Temple, whose daughter, Helen Temple Dickinson, was headmistress until 1966, when Westlake became a non-profit institution. The Temple Family owned the school until 1977, with Mrs. Dickinson serving in an ex officio capacity. In 1968 Westlake became exclusively a secondary school.Merger
As both schools continued to grow in size towards the late 1980s, and as gender-exclusivity became less and less of a factor both in the schools’ reputations and desirability, the trustees of both Harvard and Westlake effectuated a merger in 1989. The two institutions had long been de facto sister schools and interacted socially. Complete integration and coeducation began in 1991.The campuses
Currently, the school is split between the two campuses, with grades 7–9 located at the former Westlake campus in Holmby Hills, the Middle School, and grades 10–12 located at the former Harvard campus in Studio CityStudio City, Los Angeles, California
