In 1898, the cornerstone for University Hall was laid. A year later at the formal opening the building was dedicated University Hall. Over time, the term Main Hall has become commonly used, especially on campus but the official name for the building remains University Hall
Today the building houses the Office of the President, Office of the Provost, Office of Administration & Finance, Office of Research & Development and well as classrooms.
The clock tower hold 47 bronze carillon bells weighing more than 12 tons. On Friday's UM's official carillonneur plays a noon concert on the bells for all of campus.
