The Bell Tower

Slimline concrete chimney shaft rising from the piazza concourse, taller than the Great Hall and the Hugh Owen Library nearby so that it is visible across much of the Penglais Campus. Inner cuboid shaft is open to the west and clad in dark aggregate panels, with top angled cut off sloping east to west. This is sheathed on three sides by lighter gravel aggregate panels matching those of the surrounding buildings, with open seams at the NE and SE corners. This sheathing ends a few metres short of the top and on north and south sides in an opposed angled cut off sloping from west down to east. Narrow vertical openings in these two sides linked by single pale panel above with iron bell suspended from it. Wooden benches at the base of the chimney are a later introduction.
