Amarillo College West Campus is a 42-acre site that was purchased in 1966 to become the School of Vocational Arts that opened with four buildings in September 1967. The school began with programs in auto mechanics, refrigeration and air conditioning, industrial welding, radio-television repair and servicing, and industrial electronics. In 1974 a new building opened for the School of Biomedical Arts and Sciences (SBAS). This housed the six allied health programs that included Dental Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Medical Laboratory Technology, Medical Records Technology, Radiography and Respiratory Therapy. Previously these programs were scattered among buildings on the Washington Street Campus.

After a successful bond election in 1994, the West Campus expanded in 1996 to eight buildings that included the renovation of the SBAS building and a name change to the Allied Health Building and the addition of a Gym/Dance Building, Child Development Lab School and Lecture Hall that were completed in 1996. The new Allied Health offerings were increased from six to 15 programs that today are Associate Degree Nursing, Dentist Aide, Dental Hygiene, Emergency Medical Services Professions (Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technologists), Licensed Vocational Nursing, Medical Data Specialist, Medical Laboratory Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Physical Therapy Assisting, Pharmacy Technology, Radiography, Radiation Therapy, Respiratory Care and Surgical Technology.
