The historic University Club is set to reopen after a more than $17 million renovation.
In collaboration with Invited, the nation’s largest owner and operator of private membership clubs, the University Club will support the University’s mission and the campus community by providing an immersive learning experience for UA students as well as a premier dining and social establishment for faculty, staff, alumni and visitors.
A few of the renovations and additions include:
- Restoring the existing reception, dining and special event spaces.
- Converting the south parlor into a lounge, casual dining area and bar.
- Adding dining space, a stairwell, expanded restrooms and event space.
- Repurposing the north parlor as a workspace similar to a hotel lobby.
- Adding a boardroom and spacious balcony to the second level.
Additional details on the project can be found on the Building Bama website.
