Construction Overview and Updates
Stay informed about the phases of our campus modernization
We have broken ground on our campus modernization! Phase 1, construction of the underground parking garage, is underway, bringing our vision of state-of-the-art learning spaces set on a sustainable campus closer by the day. When the garage is completed, we will begin Phase 2, shifting daily life to Casti Village on Spieker Field above the completed garage. During Phase 2, The Gunn Administration Building, The Chapel Theater, and the Joan Z. Lonergan Fitness Center will remain open to support the program and student experience while all other buildings will be taken down, and our reimagined campus will take shape around the Circle, which has always formed the core of the campus and the community. This is an incredible exciting time at Castilleja, and we look forward to sharing news about our progress.

Phase 1: Our Underground Parking Garage
Begun in September of 2024, our underground parking garage is taking shape beneath Spieker Field.
