Creative Contractors Breaks Ground on $50M Jesuit High School Expansion in Tampa

Jesuit High School breaks ground on a three-facility expansion in Tampa as part of its $50 million "For Greater Glory" campaign.

By Colin Percy · May 20, 2026

Jesuit High School in Tampa has officially commenced Phase III of its long-term campus master plan, a project featuring the new Jenkins Science Center, the Schellman Student Activities Center, and the Leal Family Dining Hall. This expansion is a key component of the school’s $50 million "For Greater Glory" campaign, designed to enhance STEM education and campus collaboration. The facilities were funded by record-breaking donations, including $5 million gifts from the Jenkins and Schellman families and $1.2 million from the Leal family.

Creative Contractors is leading the construction of the new additions, which were designed by PBK Architects to align with existing campus structures. The project is slated for completion in fall 2027 and aims to provide advanced lab and social spaces for students, building upon a decade of master-planned campus improvements that previously included the 2023 completion of the Antinori Center for the Arts.
