Fountain Plaza Initials on KOIN Center on February 15, 2010
KOIN Center was originally called Fountain Plaza. It very quickly took on the name of its most well-known occupant, but some reminders of its intended identity remain to this day. The original name of Fountain Plaza is a reference to its proximity to the Ira C. Keller Forecourt Fountain.
