The Bells of Iowa State is one of Iowa State University traditions, remembered with affection by both alumni and campus visitors. This project is to build a 1:5 scale replica of the campanile and a 27-bell carillon that is accessible, functional, and portable.

This model serves as an extension of the legacy of Iowa State's beloved campanile and the carillon. It is used at various University events and outreach programs. It also serves as a musical instrument and an educational tool. Many have already enjoyed the musical experiences and learned the complex engineering of the carillon.

This site will post continuous updates. Stay posted!
