Tom W. Davis Tower, Clock tower at Ohio State University in Columbus, United States
The Tom W. Davis Tower stands 75 feet tall on the north campus, featuring a large LED display measuring 20 by 40 feet.
Central Ohio businessman Tom W. Davis provided a donation of 1.5 million dollars in the mid-2010s to construct this clock tower at Ohio State University.
The base of the tower displays inscribed quotes from influential figures including William McKinley, John F. Kennedy, and Roberto Clemente.
The tower functions as a convenient meeting point near the North Recreation Center while its bell chimes mark the hours throughout the day.
Students initiated social media campaigns suggesting alternative uses for the tower, including proposals to display Tetris games on its LED screen.
