Miles College Signs Deal to Buy Birmingham-Southern Campus

Miles College (AL) has signed a purchase agreement with Birmingham-Southern College for the 192-acre campus that’s been closed since the end of May. The announcement from Miles College on Wednesday, first reported by The Birmingham Times, comes after months of uncertainty around the future of Birmingham-Southern’s Bush Hills campus. The purchase price – and long-term future for the property, – remain unclear. Birmingham-Southern’s land, buildings and equipment had a roughly $65 million value last year, according to an audit and tax records the college filed with the IRS.
