Our Building and Grounds Department (often referred to as Maintenance) is responsible for the operation and repair of facilities, systems and maintaining the grounds and athletic fields on campus. The team handles routine, preventive and deferred maintenance projects. They work in collaboration with the building custodians, who clean, prepare and secure our school buildings for day-to-day learning.
Recently, the following projects were addressed as well as completing work orders that address every day maintenance requests.
- Replacement of heating coils and insulation of pipes at Gardiner Center to prevent pipes from freezing.
- KMS kitchen storage room was painted. Recommended restaurant quality stainless steel shelving was installed.
- Repaired two (2) breaks in a water line underneath pavement by the Stadium concession stand.
- Repaired back portion of Gardiner Center parking lot, caused by erosion.
- Repaired and waterproofed the exterior wall above the KHS main office.
- Construction began on a 24’x24’ steel equipment storage structure in the northeast corner of the stadium. (The project is funded by a National Football Foundation grant and private donations.) This replaces a 25 year old storage shed locatedoutside of the stadium.
