Cook Carillon Tower, Bell tower at Grand Valley State University, US

The Cook Carillon Tower rises 10 stories high at the center of Grand Valley State University campus, featuring 48 bronze bells from the Netherlands.

Peter C. and Pat Cook funded the construction of this bell tower in 1994 as part of President Lubbers' plan for campus development.

The carillon performs the university's alma mater after noon chimes and marks every quarter-hour with the Whittington chimes throughout the day.

The bells range from 7.5 to 51 inches in diameter, with the heaviest weighing 3,000 pounds and the lightest at 14 pounds.

The tower contains a playing chamber with a keyboard that allows carillonneurs to perform live music using the 48 bronze bells.
