University of Winnipeg Club Fonds − thanks to Brett Lougheed, University Archivist/Digital Curator, for publishing the fonds description and finding aid for the University Club records. You can read more about the University Club Fonds online.
The Drache Board Room – is ideal for luncheon meetings, and the Club’s art collection offers aesthetic satisfaction.
Dining Room – Located in one of the Wesley Hall “turrets,” the Dining Room offers a formal but unpretentious dining atmosphere.
The Pub – Designed by David Hewlett with an ‘Olde English’ décor, the pub provides a quiet venue for coffee, licensed drinks, or lunch, and is the center of Friday afternoon conviviality.
Lounge – Adjacent to the Dining Room, the Club Lounge features leather sofas and is a perfect place to relax with friends and beverages, or to hold small receptions.
Authors’ Display – The Club Book Collection contains 185 books authored by 98 Club Members. Members are encouraged to donate one or more of their books to this impressive collection. Such gifts are put on permanent public display, are added to our ongoing inventory, and the names of new donors are added to our Authors' wall plaques.
Art Collection – The Club has a small permanent collection of paintings by Murray Boyko, Jonina Cadoreth, Angele Gagnon, Deryk Houston, Kenneth Hamilton and Tony Tascona. Additional pieces from the university’s general collection are also displayed in the Club.
