UVM Clock A handsome, high-tech clock designed and fabricated by Stephen Conant of Conant Metal & Light in Burlington was installed recently in the University of Vermont’s Davis Center. The luminous clock, a gift from UVM’s graduating class of 2006, is a one-of-a-kind design, new to the clock industry. Strategically situated in the four-story atrium of the Davis Center, the innovative timepiece is visible from all four floors. The clock, made of welded structural steel, features illuminated numerals on a transparent face. It is five feet high and finished in UVM green with 18 karat gold-leafed accents. With this patent-pending design, light wicks through the edge of the face and lights the numbers as if by magic.
