The Diocese of Buffalo has announced that the Newman Center of Buffalo State University has been listed for sale. The building, at 1219 Elmwood Ave., has housed the Catholic campus ministry of Buffalo State for decades.

The 5,068 square-foot, brick two-story structure is believed to have been built in the 1940s, with a rear addition added in the 1970s.

The ground floor and the upper level served as offices and a residence for the campus ministry director.

The lower level was converted to a chapel. The property is with Howard Hanna Commercial and is offered at $649,000.

Howard Hanna brokers who represent the property are Timothy Hourihan and David Doerr who may be reached at 716 856-7107.

A search is underway for a new location for Buffalo State’s Newman Center. This property joins The Catholic Center and Christ the King Seminary as diocesan properties currently for sale.
