What is that fascinating sculpture in the fountain area?

Answer:

The sculptured fountain is called "Apogee". It was cast in bronze at the University's Art Department by faculty member Chuck Tomlins from the design of Don Merrill, artist/designer of McCune McCune and Associates. The late J. Paschal Twyman and his wife commissioned the sculpture and donated it to the University. Dr. Twyman was president of TU from 1968 to 1989.
