We have McConnell Tower on the administration building in the center of campus.



While we're at it, here's a view from the Library Mall including our fountain and reflecting pools.




Bonus night pic.

Why no windows except at very top? Style choice or functional?

wow. From that picture, I'd ask is bare concrete the major architectural aesthetic on your campus? Do you have some "pretty buildings" as well? Never been to FIU so I don't know. But I do like this and the "show us your fountains" threads for giving us a better picture of our current conference-mates!

148 feet. Size matters.

Not only does Charlotte have the Belk Bell Tower (the white ribbed one), but we have a clock tower attached to our basketball arena...

We used to have a really long tower across from the freeway and someone painted ASARCO on it but it was razed two years ago.





It's a joke.

We don't have a large bell tower (Our bells are located inside of the Morrow Library) but we do have this. Times two!

And this!

Actually the Verticle lines are windows, other than who knows. F.J. Taylor was responsible for quite a bit of the expansion of Tech during the Baby Boomer's College years. He met the new demand a lot of high rise dorm buildings, the majority of which have been demolished, this building will probably never be demolished though since it is literally the Ivory Tower where the admin sits...

No bell tower for ODU... We do have a famous streaker as Cr8n has shown already!

There is a bell tower mentioned in the "master" plan.

Very true!

So, give ODU a few years and we'll get back to this thread when the time comes!

Meh. I've seen bigger.

That's what she said.

UAB doesn't have a bell tower.

Unfortunately, we got rid of ours some time ago.

It's not exactly a bell tower, but here's the closest thing UTSA has currently:




A brief history of proposed UTSA towers:


^ 1992 Master Plan


^ 2004 Master Plan



^ And the one that still has a strong chance of happening, from the 2009 / 2014 Master Plan. The building behind it is the Convo Center (Roadrunner basketball / volleyball).

This is Middle Tennessee's. It is connected to the Honors Building we have.
