School Fountain

A lot of schools in other school districts have water features like a fountain in the middle of their commons areas. A fountain would absorb a lot of heat in the summer and make the surrounding are cooler than it would be if it were just asphalt. Also, it would keep the area slightly warmer in the winter because water takes a long time to cool and the running water would not freeze over and would reduce the ice cover on the ground, therby reducing the cooling affect any ice has on the air.
