The University Club of Durham has shut down after nearly 40 years as a member's only spot. Tucked in the 17th floor penthouse of University Tower, it served its last meal on Thursday, March 26, as announced on social media. Kicked off back in 1987, the place covered 11,000 square feet with seven private rooms, perfect for events. Their kitchen was run by executive chef Robert Solis, who brought experience from spots like Bluebird and Chapel Hill and local catering gigs. Members showed love in the club's farewell post, which thanked everyone from staff to the whole community for the memories. They've shared more details straight with members, and news outlets are still waiting on extra comments. This marks at least the second private club closure in the triangle lately. City Club Raleigh called it quits late last year after 45 years in. A downtown tower. Office buildings like University Tower, home to law firms and Duke University Health, keep evolving, but these old school clubs are fading fast, leaving folks reminiscing

about those exclusive vibes. I'm Cory with the story. That's your Derm News Today update, AI-powered and always on.
