BUILD GROUP COMPLETES CAMPUS TRANSFORMATION AT ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SCHOOL IN SAN FRANCISCO

Project Delivers New Play Spaces, Seismic Upgrades, and Modernized Facilities to Support Future Generations of Students

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — July 30, 2026Build Group, Inc. is proud to announce the completion of a transformative campus improvement project at St. Vincent de Paul School, delivering modern learning, recreation, and community spaces ,while strengthening the long-term resilience of one of San Francisco’s cherished educational institutions.

The project fulfills a longstanding vision for the school community through significant campus enhancements, including a newly constructed parking area, a concrete elevated deck that serves as a modern sport court, renovated gymnasium restrooms, voluntary seismic upgrades across multiple campus buildings, and new roofing systems designed to improve safety, durability, and long-term performance.

At the heart of the project is the elevated sport court, which provides students with an innovative outdoor space to learn, play, compete, and build community. A contemporary aluminum fin façade gives the campus a refreshed architectural identity, while extensive structural and building envelope improvements help ensure the Lower School, Middle School, and Gymnasium will continue to serve students for generations to come. Throughout construction, Build Group carefully coordinated work on the active K–8 campus to maintain safe school operations while completing complex structural and infrastructure

improvements.

“This project is about far more than buildings,” said Marguerite Pini, Principal of St. Vincent de Paul School. “It is about creating opportunities for our students to learn, play, grow, and build community in an environment that reflects the excellence we strive for every day. The elevated sport court has transformed the way our students experience recess, physical education, athletics, and school events, while the campus improvements ensure that future generations will benefit from safe, resilient, and inspiring learning environments. We are deeply grateful to Build Group and the entire project team for their partnership, professionalism, and commitment to bringing this vision to life.”

“Projects like the St. Vincent de Paul Elevated Sport Court and Parking Garage remind us of the importance of bringing quality construction to communities and educators,” said Ron Yen, President, Build Group. “Construction is ultimately about building relationships and turning vision into reality. We are honored to have partnered with the Archdiocese of San Francisco, St. Vincent de Paul School, Ratcliff Architects, and the local community to create spaces where students can learn, grow, and thrive. Knowing these improvements will benefit generations of children, families, and educators makes this project especially meaningful for our team.”

The project reflects Build Group’s commitment to creating environments that strengthen communities and deliver lasting value. More than a collection of physical improvements, it represents an investment in the future of Catholic education in San Francisco by providing safe, inspiring, and modern spaces that support both academic excellence and student well-being.

 

Build Group extends its sincere appreciation to the dedicated trade partners whose expertise, craftsmanship, and collaboration made the project possible, including Marissa Brandon, Malcolm Drilling, Pacific Structures, Level 5, A+B Construction, Rick Slater Construction, Western Roofing Services, West Coast Sheet Metal, Pribuss Engineering, Young Electric, Ram-Con Construction, Blackwell Engineering, and the many additional trade partners who contributed to the project’s success.

Together, the project team transformed a shared vision into a campus designed to serve students, families, and the broader community for decades to come.
