Discussion generates ideas, ideas are the basis of legitimacy for the university's existence. Morale is what allows it to become a committed & dynamic facilitator of knowledge.
Could it please have a creative interior.

There are limited opportunities to engage with members of other disciplines in the exchange of ideas and to envisage collaborative activities. I believe that a faculty club would enhance quality of work life on campus by providing a comfortable environment to relax, eat and talk. It also goes some distance to creating the kind of atmosphere that might be conducive to the reinvigoration of cross discipline ideas and activities.

Anything that helps faculty members from different corners of the University connect will bring intangible, but real, benefits. A Faculty club, in particular, would probably contribute to a better research atmosphere,
especially the interdisciplinary aspects. I think it's a good idea.

It is a very timely suggestion. The university needs a faculty club, but not the one we had in the past, which was an open cafeteria. We need a classical faculty club (good examples exist and many of saw them, e.g. at Oxford and Cambridge). The two houses on campus (Stang and the one close to the pond) can be used as a suitable space.

Thus, if they had a weekly special meal or a weekly special wine to try- they could not advertise (via bulk email to **@yorku.ca) this fact. Such advertisements would have facilitated increasing their clientele, business and viability.
