Yale University has put up exciting new details on the residential-colleges project and, in particular, the 190-foot tower that is planned.

Yale's development office now says that "[t]he tower will also be equipped with a traditional belfry—a counterpoint to the Harkness Tower carillon." Another page says that the tower will include "a bell ringing room where students can operate the 12 bells in the tower’s belfry."

The tower is pictured here, at the site of Yale's architects for the project.
