In 1976, CCSD School Superintendent and future Nevada Governor [[Kenny Guinn]] proposed that a new building be constructed to house KLVX's operations. The proposal was adopted by the School Trustees and the Murray Peterson Public Television Center was dedicated in 1978. The new facility was located at 4210 Channel 10 Drive on {{convert|10|acre|ha}} of desert land sold by the [[Bureau of Land Management]] for $1,200 at the "eastern edge of urban development". The facility was designed for 35 employees and student vocational training using "state of the art" film production and development processes.
In 2004, KLVX became the first station in the United States to demonstrate what digital television has to offer in times of emergency. That demonstration and the follow on technology led to the [[Digital Emergency Alert System]] (DEAS). During 2007, using $1.2 million, KLVX installed equipment to broadcast DEAS data, including the ability to do so for up to seven days without external power. The grant also covers the installation of digital television data receivers in 120 [[Clark County School District Police Department]] vehicles.<ref name=lvs1>{{cite news |first=Emily |last=Richmond |
In September 2006, KLVX rebranded as "Vegas PBS" to reflect its current multiple-channel offerings and diversified multimedia services provided to the [[Las Vegas metropolitan area]] and statewide schools, in addition to its regular programming on its main channel. In 2009, KLVX moved its operations from the Channel 10 Drive building to the {{convert|112000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} Vegas PBS Educational Technology Campus. The new facility houses the KLVX studios, the Clark County School District's Virtual High School and Educational Media Center and the Homeland Security and Emergency Response support system. The facility is also the first in the United States to meet the [[Media Security and Reliability Council]]'s guidelines.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lvrj.com/business/28279209.html |title=A base for broadcasting and bettering community |accessdate=September 20, 2008 |work= |publisher= |date=}}</ref>
