Metzger Lawn
Overview
As one of the largest open green-spaces at Biola, Metzger Lawn can be setup as an “event” venue with the addition of chairs, tables, staging or audio/lighting equipment to build the perfect event tailored to your needs. Its close proximity to many central campus venues makes it a great option for a large outdoor banquet setup or the perfect spot to toss around a frisbee while enjoying the Southern California sunset.
