Accordingly, the University prohibits and will not engage in discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, disability, or status as a disabled veteran or a veteran of the Vietnam era. Further, the University will continue to take affirmative steps to support and advance these values consistent with the University's mission.

This is a commitment made by Kettering and is in accordance with federal, state, and/or local laws and regulations. The Kettering University Alumni Carillon Built with funds donated by GMI/Kettering Alumni and friends, the Carillon was erected as a part of the campus expansion in 1969. At the dedication, it was noted that the structure would “serve as a dynamic symbol of identity between the alumni, students, and faculty.” The carillon consists of 47 bells arranged in four octaves. The largest bass bell weighs nearly one ton while the smallest bell weighs only 20 pounds. The bells, made of 75 percent copper and 25 percent tin, were cast by the 200-year-old Petit & Fritsen Foundry of Aarle-Rixtel Netherlands. Designed by Tarapata-McMahon-Paulson Associates, the Kettering Carillon received the 1971 Honor Award for design from the Detroit Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Facilities The six main buildings, Academic Building, Campus Center, Campus Village Apartments, the Connie & Jim John Recreation Center, C. S. Mott Engineering and Science Center, and Frances Willson Thompson Hall, are set off by an attractively landscaped 85-acre campus. In addition, 14 acres are available for future development. The Academic Building is the historical “center” of the campus. It houses classrooms, science laboratories, computer laboratories, the library, the Humanities Art Center, McKinnon Theatre, and instructional and administrative offices, comprising a total floor space of nearly 400,000 square feet. The Campus Center is the activity “center” for the campus. It houses food services, cafeteria, the Wellness Center, the campus store, television studios, automotive historical collection, Financial Aid, Admissions, Campus Safety, student activities areas, and administrative offices. Kettering’s 70,000 square-foot Connie and Jim John Recreation Center, located just west of the Frances Willson Thompson Residence Hall, has a full complement of aerobic, strength, and sports amenities, in addition to student and alumni lounges, making it the likely focus of many student and alumni social and recreational activities. It houses a six-lane swimming pool, four multi-purpose regulation basketball courts, four racquetball courts, and an 1/8 mile suspended indoor track. Other areas include an aerobics/dance room, a free-weight room, and a fitness/exercise room that overlook the pool and gymnasium. Harris Fields provide an outdoor recreation facility. This is comprised of four softball fields, two lighted combination football/soccer fields, and a jogging track. McKeachie Pavilion provides picnic facilities for University functions. The latest addition to the outdoor recreation complex is a golf chipping area. Additional space is available for the future development of sand volleyball, tennis, and basketball facilities. The C. S. Mott Engineering and Science Center is the new addition to the Kettering campus, with a total floor space of 130,000 square feet. The building houses Biochemistry, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, and automotive laboratories. Student project areas are provided, including the SAE garage. The entire building is connected to the main computer system through the campus-wide network. 3 Thompson Hall provides 450 individual rooms which may be interconnected to form suites. Each room is connected to the campus computer network. The rooms are furnished, including bed, desk, chairs, built-in wardrobe/bookshelf, microwave, and refrigerator. Extensive lounge, study, laundry, and storage areas are available. Design computer laboratories are available in the building for project/homework use. Campus Village Apartments, located on Kettering property, provide suite-style housing for over 200 upper-class students. Students wishing to explore the Campus Village living option should call the Campus Village rental office at (248) 651-4190. Kettering facilities are accessible to the handicapped. The majority of the campus buildings are inter-connected for ease of movement during inclement weather. Convenient parking is provided adjacent to all campus buildings.
