Technical Trades Renovation and Expansion Campaign

Tech Trades Capital Campaign Banner

The Technical Trades Wing at the Texas Township campus is set for a major renovation, empowering Kalamazoo Valley to meet the evolving demands of technology and the growing need for skilled professionals. This expansion is not just a renovation, but a commitment to excellence in technical education and workforce readiness.

Kalamazoo Valley Community College has received a state appropriation of $19.5 million for this project. The college is seeking help from industry partners, corporate leaders, foundations, alumni and friends who recognize the value of technical trades education to raise a $19.5 million match for this multi-million dollar renovation and expansion.

With the community's support, the college will:

  • Renovate the existing 68,000-square-feet of our current space in our Advanced Technology Center Wing at our Texas Township Campus, creating increased flexibility to adapt our classrooms and labs to teach future technical skills. This renovation will help us integrate instruction across disciplines and keep our classrooms relevant and responsive to our region's training needs.
  • Build a new 20,000-square-foot Automotive Technology space. The new space will train the next generation of technicians and better equip Kalamazoo Valley to offer customized training for automotive employers who are looking to provide industry-recognized credentials for their staff.

This new auto lab will feature more training bays for traditional vehicles and also provide opportunities for new programs in:

  • Hybrid and electric vehicle technology training
  • Renewable energy storage systems, including charging stations
  • Autonomous vehicle safety features diagnostics and repair
