Drumheller Fountain, Water fountain at University of Washington campus, Seattle, United States
The circular stone fountain creates a central water display within a pond surrounded by pathways and green spaces on the university grounds.
The fountain received its name in 1961 from University Regent Joseph Drumheller, who donated the central fountain machinery for the institution's centennial celebration.
Students traditionally gather near the fountain during graduation ceremonies, creating memories against the background of cascading water and university architecture.
The fountain provides drinkable water throughout the day, allowing students and visitors to refill their containers while enjoying the outdoor setting.
Each spring, the university installs a special ramp to assist ducklings that regularly hatch near the fountain in entering and exiting the water safely.
