Scott Weiner, CEO of the SDA, said, "Our collaboration with the Vineland School District has been a successful one, and we are proud to have delivered the district's third school since fall 2006. We at the SDA are pleased to be a part of providing much-needed classrooms to enhance educational opportunities, as well as providing other new spaces, such as a media center and music room, that bring this school into the 21st century."

Superintendent Charles Ottinger remarked, "We are very grateful to have Veterans Memorial School back on line for our students, and we've started off the school year on a very positive note. It’s a fantastic facility, actually like a brand new school. We’re so fortunate to have been given the financing to complete this work. We're very, very appreciative of the efforts by everyone who helped make this wonderful project a reality."

Besides the Veterans Memorial School expansion, other Vineland projects completed by the SDA include two new schools that opened last fall: The 562-student Thomas W. Wallace Jr. Middle School and the 556-student Pauline J. Petway Elementary School. They are the first new schools built in this Cumberland County community since 1976.

The Veterans Memorial School project included a 15,075-square-foot addition and major renovations to the existing 77,021 square-foot school. The expansion provides more classrooms, a much-needed music room, a new cafeteria and kitchen, a library/media center and a nurse’s station. The project also involved the major rehabilitation of the mechanical systems and exterior brick and window replacement – work which took place while school was in session. The addition was designed by Manders/Merighi Associates of Vineland, and built by Arthur J. Ogren, Inc. Gilbane Building Company managed the project for SDA.
