The college closed operations at the end of July 2016 due to a significant budget shortfall and a continuing lawsuit against the federal government.[2][3] The campus remained vacant until it was acquired by Addiction Recovery Care, a network of residential addiction treatment centers, which established the Crown Recovery Center in November 2020.[4][5]
