The two-story building includes over 50 rooms and a large gymnasium that is able to divide into two. When the school was first built, the second-story was an open-concept, but was later renovated to include walls between the classrooms.
Kelsey's feeder schools include Chartland Jr P.S., Percy Williams Jr P.S., Lynnwood Heights Jr P.S., Alexmuir Jr P.S., A.S. Taylor Jr P.S., Brimwood Jr P.S., and Iroquois Jr P.S..
