The 60-foot Anderson Clock Tower displayed the time to students outside the University Center for more than 25 years, before the damaged and aging structure was remodeled in 1998. Repairs began in May of 1998 and were completed Sept. 1, 1998. More than $46,000 was generously donated by Herman '31 and Vivian Anderson for the remodeling, who also funded the original tower in 1970.
The new clock tower is 60 feet tall, made of Alaskan yellow cedar and features new cedar bench-work around a reconditioned concrete base. In addition, there is new lighting to illuminate the clocks.
