The site is home to one of the historic Crocker Mansions commissioned by a descendant of Charles Crocker, a founding investor of the Central Pacific Railroad. The Crocker Mansion became central to Nueva's Lower School PreK–4 classrooms, and the surrounding grounds continue to provide children with an abundance of play areas, including the vegetable garden and the forts. The Mansion's ballroom is often used for dance and music classes and school gatherings. The Hillside Learning Complex opened its doors in Hillsborough in 2007, becoming Nueva's Middle School campus and the school's first LEED Gold Certified building. In 2014 Nueva expanded again, this time to the site of the former Bay Meadows horse racetrack in San Mateo.
