Who We Are

Completed in 1924, Tower Hall is one of the most iconic buildings on the SJSU campus. Designed in the Spanish Revival style, it features a 105-foot bell tower with a clock and chimes. Originally the university's administration building, it now houses the President's Office and other administrative functions. Listed as a San José Historic Resource, Tower Hall has undergone renovations to preserve its historical charm while meeting modern needs. It remains a symbol of SJSU’s rich history and legacy.
