Giumarra (Library) Courtyard
On This Page
Overview
Located on the side of Biola’s beautiful Library building at the center of campus, Giumarra Courtyard is a casual and versatile outdoor meeting area. With existing furniture to support up to 72 guests at round tables, the area is best used as a space for guests to enjoy an informal lunch or reception, shaded by the large sails over the courtyard. Event Services can supplement an event’s needs with our large inventory of portable equipment, should you desire to have an alternate setup from what exists in the courtyard.
