The shop was purchased in April through a single donation from donors Dwight and Martha Schar, AU President Dr. Carlos Campo said.
Serious discussions began "about a year ago," the president said.
The university is planning to use the property strategically, Campo said, and one way is to completely refurbish the entire area and raze the building by the end of the year or potentially this summer.
The property most likely will turn into parking and signage improvements, though plans aren't finalized, Campo said.
