Founded
in 1907 to "enhance social interaction and
encourage intellectual enrichment" among
faculty, the Colonnade Club continues that mission
in the 21st
century. The purpose of the Faculty Club is to foster
social, cultural, and intellectual interchange among
its members and to promote the welfare of the University
and its faculty. In fulfilling this mission, the Club
utilizes and serves as steward for the historic facilities
provided to it by the University. Today, the Club has
grown to nearly 1,000 members and provides a wide variety
of opportunities to socialize, network, and feel more
"at home" at U.Va. In commemoration of the Colonnade
Club's 100th Anniversary in 2007, the University's Board
of Visitors put forth a resolution honoring
the Club.
The Club is
housed in Pavilion
VII, the oldest building on the Lawn as well as the only
pavilion that does not serve as a faculty residence.
A two-and-a-half year restoration of
the pavilion was completed in 2001, giving Club members
a beautiful space in which to enjoy events or simply
relax during the day. Pavilion VII also features eight
guest rooms, each with a private bath, which members
may reserve for overnight visitors.
One of the
greatest benefits of Club membership is the chance to
get connected to the U.Va. community. Whether you are
hoping to form new friendships, learn from the experiences
of seasoned professors, or simply mingle with others
who share your interests, the Colonnade Club is the perfect
place to find what you're looking for. Click on the

On
October 6, 1817, U.S. President James Monroe
led a Masonic ceremony to lay Pavilion VII’s cornerstone. Two former
presidents, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, also attended
the ceremony, but the scene was of special significance
to Jefferson, who had designed the brick pavilion that became
the first structure in his “Academical Village.”
Mr.
Jefferson’s university is the only higher education
institution included on the United Nations’ World
Heritage List, a roster of properties of international
cultural significance.
As the oldest building in the Academical Village,
Pavilion VII commands special recognition. Pavilion
VII rivals the
Rotunda as the most public building in the Academical
Village. Home to the Colonnade Club for nearly
100 years, Pavilion
VII provides gracious, attractive rooms for faculty,
alumni, students and guests to meet and socialize.
Colonnade
Club members may also secure overnight accommodations for
themselves and their guests in handsomely furnished bedrooms
in Pavilion VII. Amenities in the bedrooms include private
baths and data ports. One of the upstairs guest rooms in
the original part of the pavilion designed by Jefferson
opens onto a balcony, providing a spectacular view of the
Lawn.
Reservations
for meeting and reception rooms, and for overnight accommodations,
are accepted six months in advance. To check
availability of date(s) desired, contact the Colonnade
Club Office at
(434) 243-9710 or e-mail colonnadeclub@virginia.edu.
