Our new, filtered water fountains have taps for your REfillable water bottles. If you are on campus for a meeting or event then please bring a personal bottle to take advantage of this fabulous feature. The second floor hallway fountain has recorded 1259 "bottles saved" since installation! There are also fountains on the first floor hallway and off the narthex. We are better together. | |
