UTSU Resource Bank – Low Cost Equipment Rentals
The Resource Bank is an equipment rental service available primarily for UTSU recognized clubs to help clubs throw amazing events. From folding tables to PA systems and projectors, we have what you need! The only cost is for any materials that are consumed (for instance, popcorn kernels/oil when borrowing the Popcorn Machine). A deposit may also be required depending on the item.
The UTSU Resource Bank was developed so that the UTSU could share items with clubs & student groups in a way that is cost and space-efficient for the groups. The Resource Bank allows for an item(s) to be shared and reused by various groups rather than being purchased by multiple, which reduces waste and event costs.
One cool thing that is available to all our members is SAD Lamps, check them out, listed alphabetically below.
