The Firstenburg Family Fountain is an outdoor fountain, installed within a plaza in the center of the Washington State University Vancouver (WSUV) campus, in Vancouver, Washington, United States.

Description and history

The fountain was funded by Ed and Mary Firstenburg,[1][2] who donated $500,000.[3] The fountain has basalt columns and slabs,[3] and is one of several donated by the Firstenburgs in Vancouver.[4] The fountain won a Community Pride Design Award in 2001.[3]

Hal Dengerink, WSU Vancouver's founding chancellor, called the fountain "a permanent legacy for the Firstenburg family and for WSU Vancouver".[3] The ColumbianШаблон:'s Calley Hair has described the fountain as "eye-catching, with rough-hewn slabs of basalt and plenty of seating to relax and enjoy the view".[4]

In 2011, students gathered at the fountain to protest tuition increases.[5] The plaza was the site of a Patriot Prayer rally and counter protest in October 2018.[6][7][8]
