Stowe Fountain was designed for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and will be located in the heart of campus along the Chippewa River. The fountain’s water movement mimics the directional flow of the Chippewa River and integrates native northern Wisconsin stone into a sculptural outcropping symbolic of the Chippewa Valley. In the evening the fountain lights highlight the stone’s natural ruggedness by providing dramatic lines of light and darkness. Opening Soon.
