The roof. Yep, after two years of construction, the tower finally has its shiny new roof, protecting the Cornell family of bells. Now you can climb up, enjoy the views, and catch a live chimes concert.
Housed in historic McGraw Tower, the 21-bells are played primarily by student chimesmasters. Check the concert schedule for complete concert and special event information.
Concerts can be enjoyed from the top of the Libe Slope, the Arts Quad, and the Donor Overlook. The actual tower will be closed due to the Chimes Revival Project and will reopen once complete (estimated re-opening Spring 2025)

We recommend listening to a concert from the McGraw Tower Terrace or the Arts Quad. If you're not on campus, you can listen to recordings.
The Cornell Chimesmasters are available to play for your wedding or special event.
