Does anyone know what is going on with the MacKay Hall clock tower? It is enveloped with scaffolding.

Re: Park College
It's probably due for some needed maintenance.

Re: Park College
Wasn’t it struck by lighting relatively recently? I figured it was something to do with maintenance relating to that

Re: Park College
It was last spring. Caused some damage to the very top. But the building is old and older buildings like this need routine maintenance.Anthony_Hugo98 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 5:25 pm Wasn’t it struck by lighting relatively recently? I figured it was something to do with maintenance relating to that

Re: Park College
Completed in 1893 built with student labor. Or as some might say old and dated needs to be torn down and replaced.

Re: Park College
Hope they get it fixed soon and do it right, that building is an icon for Parkville.
Pretty cool tour of the inside of the tower. Doesn't look like a single thing was changed or modified from the original construction. As a a quasi urban explorer I would love to go inside that and look around.

Re: Park College
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAZeiRlP ... _copy_linkMackay Hall, the defining landmark of @parkuniversity was struck by lightning back in 2023 that damaged the building's spire, roof, and electrical system. Repairs to Mackay Hall were recently completed and Kansas City magazine was there to capture the moment the restored spire was remounted to the building by @farharoofing.
