The historic Old Main Building at the U of A has upgraded its carillon system. This bell rings every hour. The old system was used for twenty years and worked on cassette tapes. Now, everything is digital and more user friendly.
The audio video manager for Fulbright College, Chris Clanton, said that there are only benefits of the new system.
“So it’s easier in the sense that rather than having someone come up here at 5 in the morning for a special event, we can now program it and it will play the alma mater,” Clanton said.
He said the department is excited about the upgraded system and looks forward to the future events the bells will take part in.
