The UACCM Foundation Board is working to raise funds to support construction of a commemorative clock tower and to grow the UACCM Foundation Annual Fund.
Clock Tower
It is important for a college to have a recognizable structure, one that is powerful and can help build a well-known identity for the school. The clock tower will be positioned on the west campus, between the University Center and the Student Union. The tower will stand approximately 45 feet tall and 10 feet wide, making it visible across campus and from Interstate 40. While walking to and from class, students will be able to sit near the tower. Ample lighting will ensure that it is visible at night. The harmonious sound of chimes playing programmed selections will indicate the time, while fostering a sense of warmth and community.
Leave A Legacy...
We invite you to leave your mark on the clock tower's construction by purchasing your own personalized paver or array of pavers. Pavers will be displayed in a plaza surrounding the clock tower allowing students, alumni, and area citizens to be inspired by the accomplishments and generosity of so many that came before. These pavers are a great way to honor the memory of a loved one, recognize an accomplishment, or to support your community college.
A single 4" by 8" paver with up to two lines of text consisting of up to 18 characters per line starts at $100. For larger areas of text, 8" by 8" pavers starts at $500, 12" by 12" limestone pavers starts at $1,000, and 16" by 16" limestone pavers starts at $5,000. A limited number of cornerstones can also be purchased beginning at $10,000.
Pavers and other recognition options are available on a first-come basis so order yours today! Contact the Development Office to give.
Student Inspired
Inspiration for the clock tower's construction and the surrounding walls were taken from two UACCM drafting student's inventive designs. Julianne Razo's tower design and Jason Scruggs base design for a class project were combined into one vision for the future.
