Guest Information

Welcome to the University Club! 

The University Club of Portland has enjoyed a rich and colorful history since its founding in 1898 by a group of young college graduates.

Today, we are an accessible downtown Club serving our Members as a catalyst for fellowship, providing meeting rooms, food and beverage and entertainment. Our Membership roster includes professionals from the public and private sectors, business owners, lawyers, authors, entertainers, university administrators and professors, government officials and historians.

Where to Enter the Club

Members are encouraged to use the Front Door of the Club, located on the east side, just off of Sixth Avenue. There is a Guest Register located at the Front Desk that all guests are encouraged to sign in. We encourage guests to wait in the Main Lobby until Members arrive. 

Handicap Accessible Entrance

The accessible entrance is located on the Jefferson Street side of the building around the corner and to the left of the double door entrance, under the green awning.  This is a single door with no steps and a keypad.  Use the keypad to enter the code (1225), the door will then open automatically.  Once inside the building you will go down the hallway and make your very first right.  You will then go toward the office desk; to the right of the desk you will see a door to the chair lift.  Ride the lift down one floor to the Main Lobby.  When riding the lift you will need to press and hold the button up or down to keep it in motion.  From there you may then use the main elevator to get to the floor of your party.
