Bilbro Construction has completed a four-year construction program for La Jolla Country Day School, the first modernization to be done on the campus in the past 40 years. The school has spent $45 million to design and construct a new state-of-the-art campus.

The project team included Mark Marcus, assistant head of school; Mike Wall of Michael Wall Engineering, chair of the school's building and grounds committee; B&G Consultants, owner's representative; and DAVY Architecture.
