What is a carillon tower?
It is a tower that houses a carillon, a musical instrument made up of at least 23 cup-shaped bells.
Between the two U-M towers, there are 113 bells that ring during the weekdays; 53 in the Charles Baird Carillon in Burton Memorial Tower and 50 in the Lurie Carillon in the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Tower.
You can hear the Charles Baird Carillon ring from noon to 12:30 p.m. on weekdays and the Lurie Carillon from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.
