The Kalamazoo College Athletic Fields Complex was completely renovated in 2011-12. The original location of the football field was the only piece that remained in its original position while undergoing a complete renovation with new artificial turf, new bleachers, a new scoreboard and a new stadium services building. All other fields were relocated to make better use of the space available while allowing for the construction of a new intramural/recreation field in the northeast corner. The new athletic fields all included new turf or grass/dirt as well as new bleachers, dugouts, and scoreboards.
Calder Fieldhouse was replaced with the new Kalamazoo College Fieldhouse on the southeast corner of the complex. The new fieldhouse features locker rooms for each team equipped with sound and video capabilities. The locker room area also features locker rooms for coaches and officials as well as auxiliary workspace for coaches and staff. A new expanded athletic training room was included that includes private office space for doctors and medical personnel.
A new equipment room houses storage and laundry facilities.
The main entrance/lobby of the fieldhouse features trophy display cases for field sports as well as an athletic fields history wall. The upper level on the west end houses the Hornets Suite, a large multi-purpose room that overlooks the football field and is used for team meetings, campus gatherings, banquets, and other special events.
Note: No pets are allowed inside the athletic complex. (Service animals specifically trained to aid a person with a disability are welcome. All animals must be on a leash or in a carrier at all times).
