Deese Clock Tower, Clock tower at North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, US
The Deese Clock Tower is an 85-foot tall structure at North Carolina A&T State University featuring a steel frame covered with glazed brick and composite metal panels. Inside, an electronically simulated carillon system produces bell sounds within its compact ground footprint.
Construction by W.C. Construction began in 2015 and the tower was completed to mark the university's 125th anniversary. This project became a symbolic addition to the campus landscape.
The tower displays the university's identity through LED lighting that shifts between blue, gold, and white, making it a visual symbol of school pride visible across campus.
The tower is visible from many campus locations and serves as a useful landmark for navigation. The area surrounding it is generally accessible, giving visitors a chance to view the structure from different angles.
The carillon system uses electronic simulation rather than actual bells, making maintenance simpler and operation more reliable. This modern approach shows how the structure blends traditional tower concepts with contemporary technology.
