cam·pa·ni·le(kam·puh·nee·lei)- A bell tower, especially one near but not attached to a church or other public building.
The Robert Karam Campanile is the bell tower at the center of the campus, around which so much of UMass Dartmouth’s teaching, learning and discovery occurs. It chimes each quarter hour, reminding you to head to class, and lights up blue and gold each evening, reflecting Corsair pride.
The tower’s Modernist style is a tribute to university architect Paul Rudolph, whose design for the campus was bold and forward-thinking.
