Cornell Club of New York

In 1889, the first Cornell Club was formed by Cornell University graduates. The current 14-story clubhouse located in midtown Manhattan at 6 East 44th Street was formerly the offices of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company. The building was a gift to the University and was renovated by the firm of Gensler & Associates of San Francisco, CA. The clubhouse opened its doors on December 1, 1989.[1]

Past Locations:

• 1900 The Royalton Apartment Hotel on West 44th Street
• 1901 65 Park Avenue, and Madison Avenue at 38th Street
• 1939 The Hotel Barclay (now the Inter-Continental) at 48th Street
• 1962 50th Street at 3rd Avenue
• 1982 The Women's National Headquarters, and NYU's Town Hall facility
• 1989 6 East 44th Street

The clubhouse was established on Clubhouse Row,[2] where many of New York City's other clubs are located, such as the Harvard Club of New York at 27 W 44th, Penn Club of New York at 30 W 44th, and New York Yacht Club at 37 W 44th all on the same block, and a block away from the Yale Club of New York City on E 44th (and Vanderbilt) and Princeton Club of New York at 15 W 43rd (and Fifth Avenue) for inter-club events. Despite being in New York City, Columbia University shares a clubhouse with the Penn Club, while Dartmouth shares with the Yale Club and Brown shares the Cornell Club.

Membership in the Cornell Club is restricted to alumni, faculty, and students of the Ivy League institution Cornell University, as well as alumni of a short list of nine affiliated schools: Brown, Colgate, Duke, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Stanford, Tulane, Wake Forest, and Trinity College Dublin.[3] Most members are alumni of Cornell University.

All members enjoy full use of the clubhouse facilities and its services, except for the Health & Fitness Center, for which the Club charges additional fees. The Club includes a bar, The Big Red Tap & Grill, and a restaurant, The Cayuga Room. In addition, the Club has four banquet/meeting rooms, a business center, 48 overnight guest rooms, and a library. Members may use the squash courts at the Yale Club of New York City.

Dues are on a sliding scale, based on age and proximity to the Club. Like most private clubs, members of the Club are given reciprocal benefits at clubs around the United States and the world.[4]
