Old Joe

A fantastic free exhibition has landed at The Exchange exploring solar research, links between art and science and more, centred around the stunning large-scale illuminated sculpture of the Sun, Helios, by British artist Luke Jerram. More info at: birmingham.ac.uk/the-exchange/e…

@alfalonso @staceybarnfield WHAT! That’s amazing!

@staceybarnfield @oldjoeclock Built by my Great Grandad!!! And the reason I'm a Brummie!!!

A lovely Saturday afternoon in the company of @oldjoeclock 👋

If you look up this evening you’ll see I’m a fetching shade of blue, pink, green & purple 💙 I’m helping to raise awareness of the millions of people living with a rare disease and the incredible work of researchers at @unibirm_CMH to improve their lives #RareDiseaseDay

Old Joe looking a bit Barad-dûr tonight @Brumpic

Ohhh @oldjoeclock looked proper ethereal first thing this morning.

@Brumpic @unibirmingham Gorgeous!

I’m a faithful Claudia! #traitors (spotted myself during the filming of The Piano in Brum yesterday - image shared by The Bullring team 🙂)

Campus is open today, Fri 9 Jan ❄️ If you’re travelling in please take extra care getting to campus and when moving around once here. A huge thank you to our brilliant colleagues in Estates who’ve been clearing snow, gritting pathways & keeping campus spaces open & operating 👏

Nice view of ⁦@oldjoeclock⁩ across the snow, viewed from the library.

@cleberfavaro @drhingram Why thank you 🤩

@drhingram I praise @oldjoeclock every morning while dropping my kid at school.

Did you miss the amazing light show projected on to the front of the Aston Webb building earlier this month to mark our 125th Anniversary? Animated graphics brought to life the stories from our University - you can watch the full show here youtube.com/watch?v=JolPBv…

Since receiving our Royal Charter in 1900, this University has stood for a simple yet powerful idea: The belief that knowledge can change lives. Thank you to our students, staff, alumni & partners for being part of our journey. Watch our 125th celebration youtu.be/4aDuyhJJBKY

@unibirmingham Ooops!

NOTE: Unfortunately, and rather ill timed, Old Joe is not currently telling the correct time 🫣 We hope he will take a rest this week to listen to the new chimes!

Listen up! Old Joe will provide a unique soundtrack to campus all this week 🎶 To mark our 125th anniversary our iconic clock tower will undergo a sonic intervention - every 15 minutes, 10am-5pm there will be a ‘sonic intervention’ reimagining the chimes birmingham.ac.uk/cultural-attra…

Have you spotted I’m lit up pink & blue in the evening? I’m supporting Baby Loss Awareness Week and the amazing research that happens here on campus 💛

@oldjoeclock looking pretty special this morning!
