The view is great from the top of Belmont’s 105-foot tall bell tower, but few people have that vantage point. The tower is a central point of campus, but many students don’t know what’s at the top: 100 steps, 43 bells, three-and-one-half octaves, two hands, and one man. That man [...]
Belmont will pursue the “chance of a lifetime” through the construction of a major academic building on the corner of 15th and Wedgewood avenues by 2014. The planned building is expected to have around 160,000 square feet of space and to cost more than $40 million, President Dr. Bob Fisher [...]
