TCU's Brown-Lupton University Union fountain is located in the front plaza of the new union auditorium and provides a soothing atmosphere for students and professors as the move to class. The fountain includes six fan spray nozzles which are controlled with wind sensors. They will shut off automatically in the event of high winds, yet still leave water flowing across two half-circle raised water tables and into a lower basin. The fountain spray effects are illuminated at night and operational 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. GPSI provided the hardscape, mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations for this project.
