This is sad news. I spent my freshman year of college at Marymount California when it was known as Marymount Palos Verdes College in the 1980s. What a loss to the students and faculty as well as to the local community.

Quote:
Marymount California University (MCU), a Rancho Palos Verdes-based private Catholic University, announced during the weekend that it will be closing permanently at the end of August.

In a press release, University officials noted that declining enrollment, rising costs, the COVID-19 pandemic, and a recent failed merger with Florida-based Saint Leo University all led to the difficult decision.

“This is an extremely sad day for Marymount and for the legacy and traditions lost, both for our campus community and the local Palos Verdes area we have called home for more than 50 years,” said MCU president Brian Marcotte. “This decision was not made lightly. But we felt the most compassionate thing to do was to give everyone time to make plans. Our focus now will be to help our students, faculty and staff.”

That is some prime real estate. Imagine how many developers are lining up to buy up the land and buildings there.

You bet it is. Awesome views of the peninsula and Catalina Island to be had. Really nice campus.

That would be a dream development opportunity, the kind that developers wait a lifetime for.
