The Faculty Club is the central meeting place for all alumni and employees of Utrecht University. With sparkling gastronomy, sociable social activities, substantive debates and an inspiring environment. It is a place where the connection with the university is unmistakable. A place where live music, debate evenings and special gatherings alternate and where you can enjoy culinary delights. Be welcome.
Since June 25, extra security measures have been in place at the University Hall and the Faculty Club, among other things as a result of announced protest marches. The measures mainly concern visitor control at the front door of the Academy Building and keeping all other entrance doors closed, including that of the Faculty Club via Achter de Dom 7 (also the gate to the garden). Fortunately, the Faculty Club is still easily accessible! You can reach the Faculty Club through the front door of the Academy Building at Domplein 29.

The Faculty Club of...
Ineke van Oosten (former board member)
"After two years of preparation, the contours of the club were clear: it was to be a society with paying members consisting of scientists, support staff and alumni and with a clubhouse. We characterised the atmosphere as a living room of 'distinguished simplicity'."
Sara Pot (board member of the Faculty Club)
"Why am I a fan of the Faculty Club? Obviously because it is the most fun and welcoming club at Utrecht University! It's a nice place to meet up, have a bite to eat with my friends or meet colleagues. And I always enjoy catching up with bartender Pieter."
Jaap Dijkman (architect)
"We prefer to work with steel and wood. They age well, are less expensive and fit in nicely with the old atmosphere of the Faculty Club. You can turn the place into something antique or you can turn it into something new, but with respect for the old. We chose the latter."
Kim Donaldson (UCU employee)
"In the United States, the faculty club is the centre of social life. The Utrecht Faculty Club is great fun, but not yet known to everyone. This is different in the US: there, faculty clubs have a strong connection with their staff and alumni."
