Duffy Clock repairs coming

If you’ve seen the clock on the Duffy Arts Center, you might be asking: “Why is it always 10:57?”

The Duffy clock, the skyline of Malvern’s campus, has been broken since spring and is being fixed and upgraded. The exact timetable of it’s completion is unclear, but should come in the next few months.

Maintenance staff member Mr. Mark McLaughlin explained that last spring, there was a power outage that “cooked” the motor that works the clock. This motor needs to be replaced.

“We’re waiting for the part to come in, which should come in around 3 months,” McLaughlin said.

The maintenance team is taking this opportunity to fix the lighting up by the clock.

“We’re going with a new LED lighting fixture, so we have to change the fixtures for them,” McLaughlin said. “We’re just waiting for everything to come together.”

With everything said and done, McLaughlin said that the clock should be back up and running no later than winter time.

Until then, Friars, check your watches.
