Beginning February 9, faculty, staff and students can enjoy lunch at Case Western Reserve University's newest dining service: the Case Club @ Severance Hall.

Created in partnership with Severance Hall, the private club-which is located at Severance Restaurant in Severance Hall-is the latest in a series of campus enhancements designed to actualize University Circle's potential of becoming the best college town in America.

The Case Club @ Severance Hall will be open year-round for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays, except on holidays and when Cleveland Orchestra matinee concerts are scheduled.

Managed by Restaurant Associates, a New York City-based company that operates the dining program at the Metropolitan Opera and other high-profile venues, the club will offer an upscale buffet, special desserts and full-scale bar service.

All Case faculty, staff and students are automatically members of the Case Club @ Severance Hall and can bring guests. Members need to present a university I.D. at the door.

Reservations for lunch are optional and can be made by calling 216-231-7373 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily.

The Case Club @ Severance Hall will accept cash, major credit cards, Case Charge, Case Cash (points), and IDC charges.

Club patrons also have access to limited on-site parking in the underground Campus Center garage adjacent to Severance Hall. Parking stubs will be validated at the restaurant.

Club membership also is available to individuals affiliated with other University Circle and Cleveland area institutions. For membership information, contact Case Access Services at 216-368-CARD.
With the opening of this new facility, services of the Faculty Dining Room on the first floor of Tomlinson Hall will be incorporated into the newly remodeled Market Place on the lower level of the building.

The vacated space on the first floor will be dedicated to expanded undergraduate admission activities.

"We thank the members of the university community for its continued support of campus dining services, especially your patronage at the Faculty Dining Room over the years," said Dick Jamieson, Case associate vice president for campus services, "and look forward to seeing you at the new Case Club @ Severance Hall."
