About Us History Originally built in 1967, the JBK was first known as the Administration Building. Then in 1989, it underwent a major facelift in both appearance and personality. The building became the Jack B. Kelley Student Center after a generous endowment contribution in memory of former Amarillo businessman Jack B. Kelley. The JBK is the center of student activity at West Texas A&M University. The building will be undergoing significant modifications in the near future. Construction for the expansion of the JBK is underway and expected completion will be the Fall of 2012. Designs for the expansion include additional meeting spaces, a multi-purpose room capable of seating 500-banquet style, a catering kitchen, a Student Success suite, and restrooms on both floors. Mission Statement The Jack B. Kelley Student Center is the gathering place for the entire West Texas A&M University community.
