Spring Arbor University Spring Arbor Michigan

Home to Spring Arbor University, Michigan s Spring Arbor is aptly named featuring as it does abundant artesian water springs that form a number of the community s waterways and lakes. The rural 100 acre main campus of the university is itself full of beautiful greenery, as well as eye catching modern structures. Standing tall among these is the McKenna Carillon Tower, which boasts clocks on all four sides and can be heard chiming hourly. Dedicated in 2005, this attractive edifice serves as a symbol of the university s commitment to education and God, with the institution s mission statement and the Wesleyan Quadrilateral inscribed on the tower s four entries and pedestals, respectively. The current principal campus was established in 1873 as a Free Methodist Church seminary and grew to achieve higher education status 90 years later. It now has an undergraduate and postgraduate student body of just over 4,100.
