Kessler Campanile

The amphitheater and the Campanile reopened in 2011 after a two-year-long reconstruction as part of the ongoing Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons construction.

[citation needed] The 80-foot-tall campanile has the rough appearance of a twisted obelisk, tapering towards the top and capped with a pyramidal piece.

It is constructed of 244 stainless steel plates, with each rotated slightly to produce the swirling pattern as height increases.

[7] The design for the Campanile came from Richard Hill, who received both his undergraduate and MFA degrees from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia.

The distinctive peaks intentionally recall the design of Tech Tower, the school's traditional symbol and oldest building.
