The Baylor 5th Street Promenade & Fountain are located in the heart of the Campus at Baylor University in Waco, TX. The University desired a water feature component as a part of the promenade and GPSI created a stunning fountain with a bowl structure offering dynamic water displays. The granite basin structure measures 60' long x 40' wide and the precast bowl is 20' in diameter. The nozzle displays are smooth bore jets with a single geyser effect centered in the bowl that will display water at 30' in spray height. There are also four cascade jets that surround the center column of water that display water at 15' in spray height. There are 12 nozzle effects in the lower basin that display arching columns of water into the upper bowl and have custom dome shrouds made of bronze. The differing heights along with LED accents and unique structure creates a monumental water feature that serves as a landmark for the heart of the Baylor campus.

I could not be more pleased with how the fountain has turned out and how GPSI has performed. As I’m sure you know, we had some challenges with the weather and through it all, Jerry West kept assuring me that there would not be a delay. Throughout the project, we have learned that we could depend on your guys to perform as expected and to deliver a magnificent project. Baylor University and Dr. Rosenbalm will be proud of this fountain for many years to come. Thank you!
