UAB Synopsis, Vol. 24, No. 10, March 21, 2005
Have you wondered why The Kirklin Clinic® fountain is sometimes off? The fountain operates on a timer and runs Monday through Friday, 7:30 am until 7 pm. In addition, when wind speeds exceed 20 mph, an anemometer atop a light post just south of the fountain court automatically shuts the fountain off. The fountain is off on occasion for cleaning and adjusting chlorine levels in the reflecting pool, as well.
