Faculty Club

Originally built as a single room, the clubhouse of The Faculty Club is a landmark redwood structure tucked in amid the trees of the Faculty Glade. Its focal point is the Great Hall, originally built in 1902. The Club was founded "out of a practical need for warm lunches at reasonable prices, and a need for companionship in an early-day community which lacked the cultural, social and residential amenities to satisfy the needs of a new faculty." Today, The Club provides a variety of services for University of California members, guests and departments. It is a private club controlled by an elected board.
