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. (Daily Tar Heel)
