Whether touring the University for the first time, heading to class or reminiscing about college years after graduation, those roaming campus may stumble upon the 28,000 gallons of water flowing from the Alice Campbell Alumni Center Fountain.
On the corner of South Lincoln Avenue and West Illinois Street, behind the arches of the Hallene Gateway, the fountain in the main flower bed is a go-to spot on warm days to study, take pictures or hang out with family and friends.
During Homecoming Week, the fountain’s water turns orange — putting school spirit on full display. Facilities & Services adds food coloring to the fountain using nine parts “electric orange” and one part “red red.”
In the distance, the Hallene Gateway, adorned with “Learning & Labor,” stands as a constant reminder to visitors that they are part of a growing history of knowledge, impact and community.
As snowstorms and low temperatures become a blast from the past, check out the Alice Campbell Alumni Center Fountain on the days the sun comes out.
