From a private school to a brand-new campus.
Yongjian Elementary School was founded in 1952 as a private school named "Zhongxing Elementary School" (中興小學), established by Niu Yongjian, then-President of the Examination Yuan, to serve the children of Examination Yuan and related government agency staff. It was transferred to Taipei City government control and became a public school in 1967, briefly renamed "Jianxing Elementary School," before being renamed "Yongjian Elementary School" in 1969 in honor of its founder.
The school relocated in 2018 because its original 4,747-square-meter site had become too small for its enrollment. Its new 2.27-hectare campus was built on part of the former National Development Institute site — with land donated by developer Yuanli Construction (元利建設) and design by Dai Jiahui Architects.
永建國小創立於1952年（民國41年），原為時任考試院院長鈕永建創辦的私立學校「中興小學」，服務考試院及相關機關員工子弟。1967年移交臺北市政府接管，改為公立學校，曾短暫更名為「建興國小」，1969年為紀念創辦人鈕永建而正式定名為「永建國小」。
因原校地僅4,747平方公尺，不敷使用，學校於2018年遷入新校址。新校區面積達2.27公頃，座落於原國家發展研究院部分用地，由元利建設捐地、戴嘉惠建築師事務所設計。
