Owned and operated by the Society of Graduate Students (SOGS), a student advocacy organization at Western University, the club has a long history dating back to 1968. It moved to its current location in Middlesex College in 1979. The business describes itself as an inclusive and safe community space that hosts various clubs, cultural events, and weddings.
