The Fountain

 
 

The fountain, on the campus side of the Memorial Student Center, was designed and cast by Harry Bertoia. The fountain has 75 points at the top, each representing a life taken in the 1970 Marshall Football plane crash. The plaza was renovated in 1999-2000 to add an amphitheatre and replace the cement floor with brick.
