The Faculty Club is the site of numerous events, both private and public, which are too many to publish.  For example, the UC Berkeley Career Center reports that 90% of campus recruiting events are held at our facility.

Monthly Art Exhibit

During the month of June, we have the privilege of exhibiting more of the excellent artwork of Faculty Club member, Pat Hayashi. Mr. Hayashi works in a broad range of media, and shares several of his finest pieces with us this month, including examples of his "smoke and fire" paintings, a technique which he developed  His art has become a source of great joy for him and has taken him to unexpected places, most recently to Guanajato, Mexico, to study etching. Recently, the U.S. State Department invited him to Kyrgyzstan to give master classes on his smoke and fire paintings, this September. June's Faculty Club exhibit also features several self portraits, including one modeled on the Rembrandt reproduction in the Faculty Club’s bar. The entire show is illuminated by Mr. Hayashi's personal descriptions of his works. For more information about Mr. Hayashi and his art, please visit his website at PatrickHayashi.com

Holiday Hours & Closures

The Faculty Club's office and dining calendars generally follow the UC Berkeley Academic Calendar, whereby we close on the same national and academic/administrative holidays.
