What makes it fun
The Sombrilla Fountain is easily the most iconic landmark at UTSA. Built in the middle of Sombrilla Plaza, the Sombrilla Fountain brings a certain exquisite beauty to the Campus’ most popular hangout. The fountain is also known as the fountain of good luck, legend says that if you touch the fountain wall during finals week, you’re on track for good grades on your exams. How great is that?! The fountain stands proud after having been built nearly 40 years ago, and has since been renovated to use only reclaimed water from air-conditioning systems from the neighboring buildings. An idea coming straight from the mind of it's students, the fountain ensures it can remain operational all year long wihout any strain on the water supply. The Sombrilla Fountain is a wonderful signature photo-op venue, ideal for any pair of lovers looking to begin their romantic journey with a bit of good luck on their side!
