The Bolles School is proud to announce a landmark $6 million philanthropic gift to fund the creation of a state-of-the-art Athletic Performance Center on its Upper School San Jose Campus. This transformative donation, given by Patrick Zalupski of Dream Finders Homes, marks a pivotal moment in Bolles’ commitment to excellence in student-athlete development, health and wellness.

The new Dream Finders Homes Athletic Performance Center (DFH-APC) will be a leading-edge facility designed to elevate training, recovery and education for Bolles athletes across all sports. The center will feature advanced strength and conditioning equipment, integrated sports science technology, and a dedicated recovery room with plenty of space for teaching, learning and leadership development.

Facility highlights include:

  • Advanced strength and conditioning equipment
  • Hydrotherapy room
  • Training and recovery room
  • Weight room and indoor turf for practice with views overlooking Skinner-Barco Stadium and Hodges Field
  • Nutrition Zone

Construction is projected to begin in 2026 with the conceptual estimate of the project being $12 million. The 13,000-square-foot facility will serve all Bolles athletes, from middle to upper school, and will also support coaches and visiting professionals in sports medicine and performance science.
