Conference Center and Manor House

Whether you need to plan an academic retreat, wedding, or anything in between, we are well-prepared to accommodate your event's needs.

Part of the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station, our facilities are nestled into W.K. Kellogg’s beautiful historic summer estate, generously donated to Michigan State University in 1951. KBS is MSU’s largest off campus research and education facility, located on the shores of beautiful Gull Lake in northern Kalamazoo County (60 miles southwest of MSU's main campus in East Lansing).

The historical Kellogg Manor House is perfect for hosting weddings, parties, meetings and other private events, offering magnificent views of Gull Lake.
The Conference Center has a number of meeting spaces designed to fit your digital needs, supported by in-house technicians.
The KBS Auditorium has seating for up to 120 guests. We configure the space for optimal interactions for your group. The auditorium is equipped with all of the digital, audio and video technology you need.
Our Event Coordinators will assist in planning your event, including lodging options and outstanding meals created by KBS’s own resident chef and staff.

Groups of all sizes and needs are welcome. Whether it’s for a single meeting, weekend retreat, or wedding, we look forward to serving you during your next visit to the W.K. Kellogg Conference Center and Manor House.
