Lurie Tower, Bell tower at University of Michigan North Campus, US
The Lurie Tower rises 167 feet tall on North Campus, containing 60 bronze bells arranged in a grand carillon system within its concrete structure.
The tower was constructed between 1994 and 1996 through a $12 million donation from Ann Lurie in memory of her husband Robert H. Lurie.
Regular carillon concerts take place at the tower, with professional musicians performing musical compositions using the bell system throughout academic terms.
Visitors can access the observation deck during daytime hours and watch carillonists perform by pressing wooden keys that control the bells above.
The heaviest bell in the carillon weighs six tons and was cast at the Royal Eijsbouts foundry using a precise ratio of 80 percent copper.
