The KPS Facilities Department is responsible for the maintenance of all buildings and all construction projects. Our goal is to have the best learning environment for our students and a productive workplace for our staff.  

• KPS operates 24 school buildings which were constructed as early as 1921 and as recently as 2023.
• The Kalamazoo Innovative Learning Program (KILP) is housed in the Community Education Center (former Central High School) which is also the home of Chenery Auditorium, Adult Education, Technology Services, KAMSC, instructional department staff, and the facilities management offices.
• KPS also has an administration building, professional development center, stockroom, transportation facility, and Oakwood Center.   

Kalamazoo Public Schools (KPS) facilities belong to the community and have the primary purpose of implementing an instruction program for all students. When possible, school facilities may be used by groups and organizations whose purposes and objectives contribute to the development of the school program or the community. (KPS Board Policy 3.11)

• District-sponsored activities, including school-related events, professional development, student groups, parent organizations, employee groups, or youth groups exclusively serving KPS students retain priority in the use of facilities.

• Building use is generally unavailable when school is not in session.

• Applicants may be requested by the school district to provide a certificate of liability and property damages insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 combined single-limit coverage.

• Renters are expected to be in compliance with Facilities Use Procedures.

Inquires about the use of KPS facilities should be directed to Dillon Boyd at (269) 337-0402 or boyddp@kalamazoopublicschools.net
