Project: The University Club
Wayland, MA

 

Architect: Meyer & Meyer Inc. Architecture and Interiors

 

The University Club of Boston, located at 426 Stuart Street, is getting a face-lift. The private social club, which has a restaurant, bar, fitness facilities and pool, is spending $3.5 million to expand its bar to include a lounge and upgrade its 25-meter pool. The club, founded in 1891, is also creating a state-of-the-art conference room. “We compete at the same time with other private clubs,” said Boyd Holk, the club’s manager. “We’re doing what it takes to remain competitive.” The last time any work was done on the building was 1999. Like a country club in the city, the University Club offers social networking events, and amenities such as baby sitting and valet. Architects Meyer & Meyer in Boston are designing the upgrades, which will be completed by September.
