The water feature, an arched gateway marking the entrance to campus and improvements to an outdoor classroom overlooking the Chippewa River are final touches to the university's Garfield Avenue redevelopment project. The enhancements are supported by donated funds, including a lead gift from Jon and Megan Stowe to the UW-Eau Claire Foundation.
