Jesse Knight Building, Business and humanities building at Brigham Young University, Provo, US

The Jesse Knight Building is a classroom building on the Brigham Young University campus in Provo, Utah. It originally consisted only of an eastern portion running north and south; a matching eastern arm annex was added in 1966, giving the structure its present two-part footprint.

The building was constructed in 1960 as a Commercial College facility and expanded in 1966. It later became the headquarters for the College of Humanities and underwent seismic reinforcement improvements in 2007.

The building carries the name of Jesse Knight, the mining figure for whom it was named when it opened in 1960. Students and staff still shorten it to JKB, and the older initials JKHB recall the years when the College of Humanities occupied the structure before the Joseph F. Smith Building opened in 2005.

The Jesse Knight Building stands on the Brigham Young University campus in Provo, Utah, and holds classrooms plus offices for the BYU Police, Freshman Academy administration, Human Resource Development, the English Writing Center and School of Management computer laboratories. The original 1960 block runs north to south, with the eastern arm annex added in 1966. Enter from the side facing the campus core to reach the classrooms and service desks.

The Knight Building originally consisted only of its eastern portion running north and south; the eastern arm annex was added in 1966. The 2007 work was described as seismic upgrades and other renovations. The building no longer carries the name Jesse Knight Humanities Building, which it held for many years.
