The fountain outside the Main Library is expected to be filled today and should be flowing this weekend, campus officials said.

There is a chance maintenance work on the steps near the library’s north entrance might delay plans to fill the pools, Campus Park & Planning director Jeff Kacos said Tuesday, but officials don’t expect a problem.

In mid-June, Kacos said cold spring weather, budget concerns and possible repairs were delaying the fountains’ opening. MSU Grounds Maintenance officials had planned to complete repairs by July 1.

Despite the possibility of further delays, Kacos said he was sure the library fountains will be running before students begin the fall semester.

“We’ll keep our fingers crossed that everything works.”
