$5 million gift helps Bolles build Center for Innovation


Dr. Dana Fender and his wife, Hope, have committed to match a $5 million gift from Frank Sanchez to build the Center for Innovation on the Bolles Upper School San Jose Campus.

The school said the 47,000-square-foot, three-story building is the most expansive construction undertaking on the San Jose Campus property since the building now known as Bolles Hall was constructed as the San Jose Hotel in 1925.
