Pictured, UB’s iconic South Campus clock tower atop Edmund B. Hayes Hall. A stately white dome with ornate trim and openings that partially expose the large bells (known as the Westminster chimes) housed inside the tower, framed by a vibrant blue sky with white clouds and long-needled pines. The center portion of the building beneath this clock tower, now Hayes Hall, was built in 1874 to house the Insane Department of the Erie County Almshouse. It eventually expanded into a 400-bed hospital before being converted for academic use in 1928.
