General Membership Questions
How will I be recognized as a member of the Faculty and Staff Club?
All members will be required to present their valid Pitt ID upon admittance to the dining facilities, library, reading room, and fitness center. Your membership information will be confirmed once your ID has been swiped by the University Club staff.

The Faculty and Staff Club is open for our members year round (of course, subject to certain holidays).
Is it possible to go on a tour of the University Club before becoming a member?
The University Club will host several open houses for faculty and staff to tour the facility. At that time curious faculty and staff will be able to view the Club and ask specific questions regarding membership. The tour dates and times are:
March 25 - 9a.m.–1p.m.
March 27 - Noon–4p.m.
March 30 - 3p.m.–6p.m.
Are the pictures in the brochure “real”?
As we prepare The University Club for its grand opening on April 1, our ability to take photos that truly demonstrate what the Club has to offer has been limited. Therefore, the photos in the brochure are not actual pictures of the Club, but instead should demonstrate the feeling that we would like all of our members to experience when enjoying time with us at the Club.

May I Join?
Is my spouse able to join the Faculty and Staff Club?
Family that is not directly affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh is not eligible to join the Faculty and Staff Club. Your spouse and family are certainly welcome to accompany you to the University Club as your guest at any of our dining accommodations (must be over 21 to enter the College Room lounge) and special social events throughout the year. Guests, however, do not have access to the fitness center.
Is membership open to UPMC staff?
Membership to the Faculty and Staff Club, at the University Club, is reserved for University of Pittsburgh tenured and emeritus faculty, active regular full-time and regular part-time faculty, staff, research associates, and University of Pittsburgh officers and Trustees. If a UPMC employee also works in one of these capacities at the University, he/she would be eligible for membership as long as their employment status with the University is active.
Are departmental or institutional memberships available?
The University Club’s conference rooms, banquet halls, and Brioche Doree are open to all members of the University community and the general public. However, full memberships, social memberships, and fitness memberships are exclusively for faculty and staff. Members of the Faculty and Staff Club may certainly bring colleagues as guests; however, all eligible faculty and staff are encouraged to become members and help the success of their club!
Dining Questions
Is it possible to see a menu (with prices) for the restaurant?
Our executive chef is still completing the menu for the University Club. We expect to have this available shortly.
Members may have guests join them at the University Club to dine at the Fraternity Grill or College Room (the College Room lounge is limited to guests over 21), the library, and special social events throughout the year. There is no limit to how many guests may join you and no additional fees for guests. However; we encourage member-eligible guests to not only join you for a meal, but to join the club as well! It benefits all of us if member-eligible faculty and staff join the club!
