The tower, reaching a height of 50 feet, was designed for economical transport and installation.The structure now serves as a focal point, emanating melodic chimes across the campus, and bringing joy to the university’s community. Committed to preserving their unique heritage, the playing mechanism of the tower can be operated both manually and computer-controlled via a digital keyboard located in the neighboring Academic Building. The system even allows for the bells to be “turned off” for practice sessions, and music can be saved and triggered remotely via an app. |
