Maybe the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida will interest you. It satisfies both of your requirements. There is no more land to build houses, and the school wants the land that the current house use.
When I was an active in the 1970's, we had 12 houses on Fraternity row. The sororities never had houses; they each have a suite in the Pan-Hellenic Building. The school is even trying to wedge non-Greeks into Pan-Hel. ROTC was there last year.
Last Homecoming, the Pike House was shuttered and today on Google Maps, the house is gone, with just shell of the pool left. So now there are 5 houses left and they are surrounded by high-rise condo-dorms and offices.
The school is shaped like a teardrop with South Miami, a different municipality, on one side and US route 1 on the other. It is 6 lanes with a shopping area on the other side. The top is very expensive Coral Gables houses, so the school cannot really expand. So, their choice was to cannibalize the Row.
Here is a map of the school. The Row is at the bottom left (Lambda Chi is labeled). Pan-Hel is located near the Henry in the label Henry West Lab School.
Here is a satellite view of the school. The Row is across from the baseball field. You can see the new dorms and a big parking garage there. Pan-Hel is the L-shaped building at the top right.
Here is a closeup of the Row. The scar at the top with the blue circle was the Pike House and pool. You can see the five houses surrounded in the middle.
