Dear Neighbor:
This email is in response to the anonymous complaint posted to the Community Board No. 14 website.
The Brooklyn College Bell tower, atop the Library, and its chimes, have been an integral part of the Brooklyn College campus since its opening in October 1937. The current schedule for the chimes is as follows:
• The daily sequence begins at 9am during the week and at noon on Saturday and Sundays.
• Mon - Fri: 9am - 10:45pm, the quad-note Westminster sequence marks each quarter hour; the hour number is tolled on the hour.
• Sat - Sun: 12 noon - 10:45pm, the quad-note Westminster sequence marks each quarter hour; the hour number is tolled on the hour.
• A distinctive two-bell class-break strike is sounded for the beginning and ending of each class period except when a class begins or ends on an hour quarter -- then the Westminster melody takes precedence.
• Every day: 12n and 3p, - a melody is played or at the class breaks closest to those hours when classes are in session
• Every day: 6p - three melodies are played (during the 6 - 6:30 class break).
• Every day: 11p, the De Profundis (deep bell) is tolled (to end the day).
• The Carillon is programmed so that it will not ring between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am on any day.
Much of the campus community, including more than 17,000 students and 500 full-time faculty, and many neighbors, rely on the chimes to note the end of class periods and/or the time of day. We appreciate that not everyone enjoys chimes, although we have fielded less than five complaints about them in the last 25 years. Nevertheless, we can lower the volume so that the chimes are quieter in certain directions. If you can provide the Community Board with your address, or block, we may be able to lower the volume in that direction.
Thank you for taking the time to bring your concerns to the College’s attention.
