纽伯里学院（Newbury College）的布鲁克林校区（Brookline）校园对年轻人来说是个长期的地方，现在将成为老年人的地方。 根据在诺福克郡提交的契据，这所现已关闭的学院已将其9英亩公路费舍尔山10英亩的校园出售给Welltower，Welltower是一家投资于高级住房和辅助生活开发的公司，价格为3400万美元。这是关闭文理学院的最后一步，该学院在今年春天的课程结束时关闭。 在不断增加的财务压力和入学人数下降的情况下，纽伯里大学是一连串小型大学中最新的一家，它们将在大波士顿关闭。但是，就像牛顿附近的艾达山学院一样，它坐落在宝贵的房地产上。纽伯里（Newbury）的校园藏在克利夫兰环岛（Cleveland Circle）附近的一百万美元以上的房屋中，引发了众多潜在买家的兴趣，但也面临着在那里建房的潜在限制。 在收件箱中获取谈话要点周一至周五，是当天最重要的商业新闻的下午回顾。 房地产公司高力（Colliers）的高级副总裁克里斯·索尔（Chris Sower）说：“这非常有竞争力。” “最后，它归结为两种不同的潜在用途。” 招标是由一家上市房地产投资公司Welltower赢得的，该公司与高级住房，康复设施和门诊医疗办公室的开发商合作。其现场的确切计划尚不清楚。Welltower没有回复寻求评论的消息。Brookline的Selectmen董事会主席伯纳德·格林说，但Welltower的高管已经告诉镇官员，他们计划为部分校园规划高级设施。 Welltower has offered to sell the other part — a parking lot and classroom building on the west side of Fisher Avenue — to the town, Greene said. Brookline has hired architects to study its potential re-use as either a school or administrative or recreational facilities for the town, Greene said, and will negotiate a price once the architects have a plan. A community meeting is scheduled for later this month. Advertisement Either way, Greene said, town officials were glad the campus wound up in the hands of an established company. “I think it’s a great outcome,” Greene said. “They’re a first-class buyer. The management we’ve met with seem like straight shooters and serious. They’re people we can work with.” And the deal effectively closes the books on Newbury, a small liberal arts school that served a largely low-income population of some 600 students, many of whom were the first in their families to attend college. In recent years, tuition had risen to about $34,000, and enrollment had fallen by approximately one-quarter in the last five years. In December, the school said it would close at the end of the 2018-2019 school year. Proceeds from the sale — which was reviewed by Attorney General Maura Healey’s office — will more than cover Newbury’s existing debt. Financial statements from 2017 indicate the school owed $5.1 million in outstanding bonds and $2.3 million on a line of credit with its bank. 纽伯里（Newbury）副总裁兼参谋长保罗·马丁（Paul Martin）在一份声明中说，所得款项还将用于为教职员工提供遣散费。马丁说，这所学校的剩余资产“将被分配给马萨诸塞州的另一所学院或大学”，这一过程也需要希利的审查。 纽伯里的许多学生已转学到其他当地学校。五月份的毕业典礼上有100多人毕业。马丁说，学校仍在与少数计划在今年12月完成学位的人合作。 |
