The Beckering Family Carillon Tower is a 151-foot-tall (46 m) carillon-clock tower located in Grand Rapids, Michigan on the Pew Campus of Grand Valley State University. The tower and carillon was funded and built by Pioneer Construction in 2000. The Beckering family, for which the tower is named, established Pioneer Construction in 1933.[1][2][3]

The 48 carillon bells are cast of bronze by the Fonderie Paccard in France, who also installed them within the tower.[4]

GVSU also has another carillon, the Cook Carillon Tower, located on the main Allendale campus in Allendale, Michigan.[5]
