The University Club has reopened. Members will find the same familiar faces they remember from prior to the renovations. The look and feel is fresher and brighter.

Benjamin Wiggins, president of the University Club Board of Governors, said, “We are excited to share with you some details about these improvements. Not only will you see physical changes, from lovely white tile to dark wood cabinets in the buffet area, and the new artwork in the Hourglass Room, but Executive Chef Eileen Watkins has taken this opportunity to make some changes to the weekly menus.”

The University Club Team is excited to share this elevated experience with chef-curated meals that fall within a theme. The new service style includes a chef-manned action station, featuring made-to-order entrees or specialty sandwiches. The new lunch menu includes daily specials including soup, an action station, a self-serve station and dessert. Members and guests will also still see the fully stocked salad bar and hot and cold beverages.

“Our goal in working with Chef Eileen on the new menus was to add more artisan ingredients without increasing costs, but that is not always possible.  In an effort to keep the University Club as a premier on-campus dining establishment, the Board of Governors did have to make the decision to increase the lunch price to a flat fee of $12.95.  We feel that even with this increase, the University Club is still one of the best values on campus,” Dr. Wiggins added. 

“We hope that you will join us in celebrating the reopening of the University Club in the coming weeks.  In addition to joining us for lunch, we’d also like to invite members to our Kick Off Party on Thursday, February 18 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., said Kristin Cummings, the Club’s coordinating liaison.
