North Carolina State University Memorial Belltower, Memorial tower at North Carolina State University, United States.
The 115-foot granite structure features a four-faced clock section decorated with eight carved American eagles and stands on a 700-ton concrete foundation point.
Construction started in 1921 with a cornerstone ceremony attended by 3,000 people, faced delays during the Great Depression, and reached completion in 1937.
The tower displays 35 names of North Carolina State alumni who died during World War I, including George L. Jeffers representing unknown soldiers.
The Memorial Belltower lights up in red during university celebrations, athletic victories, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and notable academic achievements.
Students participate in the Krispy Kreme Challenge, running a course and eating donuts before finishing at the tower to raise funds for children's hospitals.
