Dear Colleagues,  

Over the past several months, we have been busy constructing the new Faculty and Staff University Club (U-Club). Beginning in early April, we hosted limited soft openings for faculty and staff and asked for feedback to improve our menu offerings, seating layout, and décor. We appreciate the feedback received. To help us collect additional feedback and engage more of our colleagues, we are pleased to announce that the U-Club will host additional soft opens for our faculty and staff beginning Tuesday April 30 through Wednesday May 8. Below please find information about this opportunity.  

Soft Open Details   

The U-Club will open for one daily seating starting Tuesday, April 30 through Wednesday, May 8 at 12 p.m. and close at 1:30 p.m. The Club has seating for 30 people in two, four, and communal six-top seating configurations. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis for the first 30 walk-up guests each day.  

Club Information  

The U-Club is open to all faculty and staff. Students are welcome if they are invited by a faculty or staff member and accompanied by that faculty or staff member. The new U-Club is in the Lydecker Tunnel across from the Bender Arena entrance, next to the Eagle Express Market. The Club entrance is inside the Butler Pavilion elevator vestibule. The community soft opens are free of charge. You can find daily menus and other helpful information on the U-Club here.  

Your Feedback is Important  

There are individual placards in the U-Club that ask all guests to complete a short feedback survey that will help us make improvements this summer to the space so that we can deliver the best experience when we open fully for business in the fall.  

Onward we go, together!
