Memorial University’s Signal Hill Campus is located on Signal Hill, St. John's, NL.

Its three facilities - Emera Innovation Exchange and Conference Centre, Graduate Student Accommodations, and Johnson Geo Centre - come together to make Signal Hill Campus is a dynamic hub for collaborating, learning and connecting.

Since Graduate Student Accommodations opened in 2015, with Emera Innovation Exchange opening in 2018, to the inclusion of Johnson Geo Centre in 2019, Signal Hill Campus has been a place for conferences, meetings and events; professional, organizational, and continuing development; a headquarters for NL culture and the arts; science and public engagement; and start-up innovation.

What other event spaces are available?

• There is event space at St. John’s Campus. Note that some spaces can only be placed on hold until each semester’s academic needs are determined. This means bookings cannot be confirmed until approximately four months prior to the event date. Contact your CES Event Coordinator, or meet@mun.ca for more information.
• Externally, we will be working with Destination St. John’s to suggest alternate locations for conferences and will advise conference organizers based on their individual circumstances.
