From the SOUTH
Take 131 to Grand Rapids, then head east on 196. Exit at the East Beltline, (which is just beyond where 96 and 196 merge). On the exit ramp stay in one of the left lanes and turn left (north) at the top of the exit ramp onto the East Beltline. Continue north past the Frederik Meijer Gardens, past Leonard Street, past the big Meijer store complex to Knapp Street. Turn left (west) onto Knapp (the whole Beltline is a boulevard, so you have to do the "turnaround" in order to actually turn left). Kent ISD is the next business after Meijer, so you'll see our sign on the left once you pass the side entrances of Meijer. The Educational Service Center will be the first building, Parking Lot 11.
From the NORTH
Take 96 east to the Leonard Street exit. Turn left (east) and go to Leffingwell Street and turn left (north). You can enter the middle of the campus directly from Leffingwell (closest to the Tech Center and Transition Center) or go to the light at Knapp Street, turn right (east) and enter the campus off Knapp, which is closest to the Educational Service Center building, Parking Lot 11.
From the EAST
Take 96 to Grand Rapids and exit at the East Beltline. Turn right (north) at the top of the exit ramp. Continue north past the Frederik Meijer Gardens, past Leonard Street, past the big Meijer store complex to Knapp Street.

From the WEST

Note: If your destination is Kent Career Tech Center (Parking Lot 1), MySchool@Kent (Parking Lot 3), or KCTC - West (Parking Lot 7), you may also enter the campus directly from the East Beltline, following the signs about halfway between Leonard and Knapp streets. You will get into the left lane and cross the Beltline.
