The J Building of Muskegon High School is one of several buildings on the high schools' 17.3-acre grounds. Although students have lots of space, the grounds are very costly to maintain compared to the revenue the school obtains with 1300 students. A sinkhole, such as this one is the school districts responsibility, and funding to repair the damage comes out of the district's general fund. The J Building was built in 1908.
