Jesse Knight Building, Business and humanities building at Brigham Young University, Provo, US
The Jesse Knight Building stretches across the Brigham Young University campus with an L-shaped design featuring multiple half-floors and amphitheater-style lecture halls.
Constructed in 1960 as the Commercial College facility, the structure expanded in 1966 and later transformed into the College of Humanities headquarters.
The building carries the name of Jesse Knight, a mining industrialist who provided essential financial support for Brigham Young University's early development.
Students access computer laboratories, writing centers, and administrative offices within the building, which received seismic reinforcement upgrades in 2007.
The structure contains an unconventional floor layout with multiple half-levels, creating distinct vertical spaces throughout the educational complex.
