Old Main, the oldest building at West Texas A&M University, remains as much as an integral part of the campus scene as it did when it first opened in 1916. The four-level structure houses numerous administrative offices including the University president as well as classrooms, laboratories and learning resource centers. Offices for enrollment management and human resources also are located in Old Main along with the College of Education and Social Sciences and the College of Nursing and Health Sciences.
Even though the building is more than 100 years old, it retains the same early-century charm that prompted onlookers in 1916 to declare Old Main "the greatest building in Texas, the Capitol only excepted."
