Historic Westlake Hall to receive new clock face

A new clock face will be installed on the clock tower in historic Westlake Hall on the campus of Bradley University on Monday, weather permitting. Contractors will replace the faces on the north, west and south sides of the clock tower starting Monday morning and continuing through the day. Work on the east face will be done on Tuesday completing the closure of the clock tower.

The new clock is part of the $22 million renovation and expansion of Westlake Hall which was started in the Spring of 2010. The renovation and expansion is expected to be completed in the summer of 2012.

The new clock face will have Roman numerals similar to those on the original clock put in place when Westlake Hall was built in 1897. The clock will be backlit and have a white finish.
