After several missed opportunities throughout Amarillo’s history, the city is expecting its first 4-year university when West Texas A&M opens its new downtown Amarillo Center in the fall of 2018. The central location of the new facility creates a permanent Amarillo campus for WTAMU and contributes to the revitalization of downtown area. The new facility will more than double the space of the Center’s current location and enhances access to higher education for Amarillo residents while improving the quality of life for the Panhandle community.
The standalone building will be in the renovated Commerce Building at 8th Avenue and South Tyler Street, a property allowing future expansion. The Center promises to infuse new life into Amarillo. Though renovations were formally launched in an October 2015 ceremony, funds are still being raised for the project.
Contributions to the Buffalo Council will be used to support projects like the new Amarillo initiative by West Texas A&M University and to create scholarships for deserving students.
