Frequently Asked Questions about the U-Club
|
What is the Club's affiliation with MSU?
The origins of the University Club are rooted in the State College Club, founded by Faculty members of Michigan State University in 1929. The Club has a long and distinguished history of serving the university. As the Club has grown, we have held true to our mission to enhance the professional and social interests of the university community, as well as the Lansing community, in an atmosphere of quality hospitality, intellectual fellowship, and family recreation. The University Club is a self-sustaining, not-for-profit, private membership organization governed by a Board of Directors elected from within the membership.
Do I have to be employed at MSU to be a member?
Employment at MSU is not a prerequisite for membership. Club membership is open to all, regardless of any affiliation with MSU.

When was the original building constructed?
U-Club Opens in October, 1970
The original Clubhouse on Forest Road opened in October of 1970. Designed in the late 60's by the Lansing architectural firm of Warren-Holmes, the building had a distinctive "Arts & Crafts" feeling, complemented by subtle oriental details.
October 2001 - Executive Development Center Opens
The groundbreaking ceremony for a substantial addition to the building, designed by Keystone Architects of Lansing, launched a new future for the University Club on January 13, 2000. October 2001 marked the Grand Opening of the Executive Development Complex. The main level of this stunning facility houses the James B. Henry Center for Executive Development of The Eli Broad Graduate School of Management, The Eli Broad College of Business, Michigan State University. The lower level contains the University Club's Fitness Center & Spa, the pro shop and offices of the university's Forest Akers Golf Courses, and the Graduate School of Management's Weekend MBA and Executive Development Programs offices. The corporately managed Candlewood Suites Hotel completes the complex, which is almost 1/4 mile long. The University Club provides food and beverage services for the entire complex.

What are the Club's dress guidelines?
Business and business casual dress are the generally accepted attire for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Club's Mingle restaurant, or Sunday brunch in the Heritage Room, as well as when attending banquets or other private business functions. Special member events and private formal functions such as wedding receptions may require more formal attire.
Summer/outdoor events and Club family functions are generally more casual, as is dining in the Club's Mixx cocktail lounge and on the Terrace. Athletic clothing is appropriate only at the pool, tennis courts, outdoor dining areas, or in the Fitness Center & Spa.
