The University Club joined the Housing and Ancillary Services portfolio November 2024 and provides services and space for all guests to socialize, dine-in at our restaurant, and host events. We are proudly open to the public, no membership required.
With stunning water views and historic charm, The University Club's legacy is preserved through its core offerings, which the Queen's community has come to value over the last 75+ years.

History
St. Lawrence Cottage, the original building on the Club's site was constructed in 1845 by Reverend Wm. Macaulay Herchmer, a prominent Kingston citizen.
Over the next century, the original "country home" was extensively modified by successive owners.
A large addition was made in 1968-1969, to enhance the facilities for its new function as The Queen's University Faculty Club, which officially opened in 1969.
Member Legacy
Queen’s University is committed to preserving the Club’s legacy and honouring its legacy members, whose support and regular use have been critical in maintaining operations in recent years. Staff at The University Club would like to thank you for your continual commitment.
In honour of our legacy members, staff will continue to distribute a 10% reduction in the retail prices at lunchtime following the transition to Queen’s Housing and Ancillary Services portfolio.
We look forward to having you back!
