Last September, the University Club reopened for a trial period to assess the long-term viability of its operations. The restaurant closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but was experiencing other challenges as well, including the need for essential renovations and maintenance. In preparation for its opening, critical maintenance was conducted to address issues related to safety, aging equipment, and short-term building operation.
Open for lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., patronage fluctuated at different points throughout the year but was always significantly less than what was required to achieve break-even revenue. Given the outstanding building maintenance and operational costs needed to remain a table-service restaurant and bookable hospitality space, it is neither feasible nor sustainable for the University Club to remain operational at this time.
Although the University Club is no longer available for table services, Catering and Event Services will continue to deliver a wide variety of delicious options with exceptional service for your private events and holiday parties. Book your next event today!
