The present Media Centre/Library at Durban High School, one of the best School facilities in KwaZulu–Natal, was the brainchild of past Head Master Mr Bennison and members of the Governing Body. The plans were drawn by DHS "old boys" who designed a 3 level Media Centre within the shell of the old school hall. The beautiful old walls house very modern Media facilities without loosing the atmosphere and history of the past.

Four Project Rooms in the Reference area gives secluded areas for group work and the nine computers provide 24 hour access to the Internet, Electronic Reference Material and word processing facilities. Documents can be photocopied and printing can also be done from computers. Laminating and binding facilities are also available. The foyer of the M/C displays some of the relics of the "Old School" and portraits of past Head Masters adorn the walls of the Walkway. On the lower floor is a computer Room, the School Archives and a School Clothing Shop.
