"The Burton Memorial Tower is a clock tower located on Central Campus at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, housing a grand carillon. The tower was built in 1936 as a memorial for University President Marion Leroy Burton (presidency: 1920–1925). This carillon is the world's fourth-heaviest, containing 53 bells and weighing a total of 43 tons and standing 58,2 m. On April 8, 2017, in celebration of the university's bicentennial, the tower was illuminated in maize and blue, the university's colors. The carillon and spire can also be lit in other colors by the LED illumination system installed for the bicentennial."
"Never has the right times and some of the clock faces are like an hour off which is hilarious but at least it's a cool building"
"A beautiful tower on campus."
"Annoying music at any moment of the day, being very difficult to be concentrated for those who work next to it. Most of the times, each side has a different time as well."
"If you are okay with heights, head up the tower during the carillon concerts every weekday during lunch time, it’s a real treat to hear some great music and admire the incredible views from the top of the tower."
