Our Campus

Riordan's campus blends classic architecture with modern touches. Architect Paul Ryan drew on inspiration from the Doge’s Palace in Venice and the Stockholm Town Hall when he designed the entrance to the school.

Riordan boasts one of the largest school theaters in the Bay Area. Thousands of thespians have performed on the James Lindland Theatre, with many going on to professional acting career. The theatre is also used for all school masses, acting and drama classes, band performances and other special events.

Riordan opened Mayer Family Field at The Carl Gellert and Celia Berta Gellert Athletic Complex in the fall of 2019. This multi-sport field will serve generations of Crusaders to come.

Riordan’s Makerspace is a physical space for classes, but more importantly, it is an environment for testing out ideas, collaborating with peers, and building things. Students interested in careers such as engineering, design, and programming can develop their passions in the Makerspace. 

More than 40 students in Riordan's boarding program live on campus and enjoy the shortest commute to their classes. Students have a roomate, and some rooms have views of the ocean!

Students and athletes stay in shape in Riordan's top-notch workout facility. Read more about our strength and conditioning program here.

Classrooms are designed to best aid student learning and support great teaching.

Riordan's state-of-the-art gym was renovated in 2018, including a brand new floor in honor of alumnus and NBA great Kevin Restani '70.
