NC State Global Courtyard

Procedures

1. Reservations can be made online by completing the form below. NC State University students or employees may submit a reservation request. However, the “person responsible” (see No. 5 below) must be a faculty or staff member at NC State University.
2. This reservation form helps to organize groups from having multiple events in the courtyard at the same time. No event planning services are provided. Groups are responsible for asking students occupying the courtyard at the time of their event to move.
3. Trash/Recycling – there is one set of trash/recycling receptacles at the entrance of the courtyard. Should more be needed, groups will need to work with NC State Recycling to request additional trash/recycling receptacles delivered to the courtyard. At the conclusion of the event, groups must ensure that all trash is properly disposed of and the area is free of litter/debris. Permanent trash can should not be left overflowing.
4. If any specialized services are needed, students should contact Rave! Events.
5. The Global Courtyard is equipped with wifi coverage and numerous outdoor power outlets. It features moveable seating for 18 as well as 3 fixed benches.
6. The facility may be reserved from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday-Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday.
7. First priority will be given to Global Engagement-related groups in which reservations may be made as early as one year in advance. Non-Global Engagement users may receive firm booking 30 days prior to the scheduled event.
8. A “person responsible” is an NC State University faculty or staff member (NOT a student), MUST agree to attend the event and take full responsibility for the event and its related activities in the Global Courtyard area, including behavior of all attendees.
