QI Courtyard Reservations
Courtyard-only reservations function more as a self-serve area. QI cannot provide in-house equipment, furniture, or lighting. Below is a recommended checklist for ordering services and coordinating your event in the courtyard. The client should provide all vendor orders to QI staff to review and coordinate vendor load-in and load-out times. QI manages the paved courtyard directly adjacent to Atkinson Hall. The request for the grassy area next to the Bear should be coordinated with the Dean’s Support Staff of JSOE by emailing: dss@eng.ucsd.edu.
Furniture rentals – Bright Rentals
Tables, chairs, linens
Trash cans + extra liners must be rented

Lighting – Bright Rentals
Consider the timing of your event and if additional lighting is needed. The outdoor lighting structures do not provide a significant source of lighting for events in the evening.
