Newmark is pleased to bring to market the former Northland College Campus in Ashland, WI. A private liberal arts college founded in 1892, Northland College was renowned for its deep commitment to the environment, conservation and sustainability until its closing in 2025.
Building highlights include a modern science building, a state -of-the-art stadium, the newest and largest athletic and fitness center in northern Wisconsin, numerous residence halls, a functioning food production/food bank building, an attractive student center with a fully equipped commercial kitchen, and an environmental retreat center featuring organic architecture in perfect harmony with its woodland setting. The campus also features abundant open space, fire pits and a community garden. Ashland is a quaint remote city surrounded by natural beauty, situated at the head of Chequamegon Bay, a destination for year -round recreational and sporting activities. Northland College’s spirit and legacy lives on through the thousands of alumni, faculty, staff and partners who remain committed to the region.
With the opportunity to serve students or visitors from both urban and rural contexts, Ashland represents a strategic location for investment and economic development in a unique natural setting. Future uses that leverage the existing infrastructure and natural surroundings include charter school, religious school, satellite college campus, corporate event or retreat center, youth camp, field study headquarters, and more.
