The former Wells College Campus is approximately 127 acres in Aurora, New York overlooking Cayuga Lake. The campus contains 20+ buildings, a large turf field, tennis courts, and significant parking.
Closed as of June 30, 2024, Wells College was founded in 1868 as Wells Seminary, a women’s college later renamed Wells College. Over the course of its history, Wells grew from a small seminary educating the young women of New York to a nationally-recognized co-educational college drawing a diverse student body from many states and several countries.
Centrally located between Syracuse, Rochester, and Ithaca, the property is nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes region of New York. Its built-in amenities that include an athletic center, theater, dining hall, and historic buildings provide a unique opportunity, whether as a turnkey acquisition for another institutional user or as a redevelopment for a creative developer looking to repurpose this beautiful site.
