The Bridgewater Improvement Association installed a fountain in the 1970’s, across from the Town Common, which had grown into disrepair. A series of concept studies explored the feasibility of a variety of new fountains, from a splash pad spray park to a historical three-tiered water feature. The new Academy Plaza enhances the Building’s entry and establishes a connection to the renovated fountain. Perimeter plantings soften the street and walkway edges.
