Focus on this artwork and explore the Location history.
The Wood Fountain is located at The Wood Plaza, which is a place on IUPUI's campus where social events such as the Indy Jazzfest and Explore IUPUI are held. The sculpture is located behind the University Library along New York St. The Wood Plaza was named after an Eli Lilly chief executor, Robert D. Wood and his wife Billie Lou Wood.  According to IUPUI's Jaguar Spirit online source, "the Wood Plaza was designed on the same axis of University Library and intended to complement the library architecturally."  In a newsletter from IUPUI's Chancellor in December 1996, an award was given from the "local chapter of the American Institute of Architects...with an Achievement award for their design, construction and enhancement of the physical and visual environments of Marion County."  The importance of this recognition gives insight into how valuable the Wood Plaza is, not only to the IUPUI Campus, but to the community.
