Rolled up on campus yesterday during Freshmen move in and got a glimpse of the new tower. It just looks like a tall metal frame now but it's going to be quite a landmark when it's finished. I was amazed that you could see it from lots of locations on campus...from Brown and Holland Hall, from the new student union and from the new infirmary and Foundation center.

It will be 85 feet tall when completed. That'll be hard to miss anywhere you have clear field of vision on campus.

So how's the clock tower coming? Have they finished bricking it up yet? Will it be finished by Homecoming?

It will be 85 feet tall when completed. That'll be hard to miss anywhere you have clear field of vision on campus. And people will still be late for class

Anybody have an update on the construction? I know they said that topping off would be 2 wks after GHOE, however I'm impatient when it comes to new construction on campus...lol

Would be great to have first ringing & lighting of the tower this Saturday after winning the '15 football championship!
What a memorable debut!

I saw it at Homecoming and it looked almost completed. Will it be finished soon?

I was down there on Saturday and it isn't finished. Looks like it's about maybe 80-90% complete. Also, the area where the new student union will be is just dirt. No visible construction has started, but it's supposed to be ready in Fall 2018.

Here is a picture of the new bell tower as of today...it looks good. The clock faces are backlit. For visibility at night and I was able to hear the electronic chimes while an operator was testing things
