The entire campus was subsequently sold in an auction and purchased by New York Trustees of the Masonic Hall and Asylum Fund.
[10] The main campus was located in New Rochelle, a Westchester County, New York, city about 16 miles (26 km) north of Manhattan.
In 1896, the college's founder, Mother Irene Gill, OSU, traveled to New Rochelle to explore the possibility of establishing a seminary there for young women.
[11][better source needed] The campus consisted of 20 main buildings, including a $28M athletic, recreational, and educational complex called the Wellness Center (completed in 2008), which featured an NCAA competition-sized swimming pool, basketball court, fitness center, indoor running track, yoga studio, roof garden and meditation garden, and volleyball court; it also had the Mooney Center with computer and photography labs, and TV production studio; the 200,000-volume Mother Irene Gill Memorial Library; the Student Campus Center; the Rogick Life Sciences Building with many laboratories; four residence halls; and the Learning Resource Center for Nursing.
The college had failed to pay federal payroll taxes and owed the IRS an estimated $20 million.
[12] On March 28, 2019, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Keith Borge, the former controller of the college, with "defrauding municipal securities investors by fraudulently concealing the college's deteriorating finances".
The U.S. Attorney's Office also brought criminal charges against Borge, who pleaded guilty[13] and was sentenced to three years in prison.
The campus and related materials were sold at auction and purchased by The Lodge Society Temple of New Rochelle, an organization affiliated with the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York, for $32 million in a private real estate bankruptcy auction case.
