| Description: |
- A 10x15 foot vertical wall dial mounted on a stucco wall. The dial is tile with an aluminum gnomon. This dial atop Sherzer observatory has been relined and renumbered several times. The dial has a brass gnomon. The newer campus landmark is visible from as far away as Wasahtenaw Avenue. The dial was designed and built by Thad Weakley as an independent study project under professor Dr. Jon K Wooley (it earned Thad 3 credits!)
