UNC's Bell Tower site is getting a makeover
Posted Feb 14, 2019
The area surrounding the Bell Tower is receiving a makeover in hope of creating more usable space on UNC’s campus and enticing more events to be hosted at the historic landmark. A project began Monday to bring improvements to the Bell Tower, built in 1931. The majority of the boxwood shrubs which used to surround the Bell Tower have been removed.
