On January 28, 2026, Memorial University announced it would be divesting real estate that is not central to the university’s academic mission. Signal Hill Campus, including Johnson Geo Centre, is part of the divestiture. The intention is to transfer the Geo Centre and for it to continue to operate as a cultural, public education and tourism destination. You can read more about the decision online.
