| Description | The Johnson GEO CENTRE is housed in one of the most distinctive buildings in the province, on a beautiful 7 hectare (18 acre) property next to Signal Hill National Historic Site, on world-famous Signal Hill. The large, glass-encased entry is the only part of the building above ground. Most of the over 3,100 m2 (33,000 ft2) of floor space are underground — right inside of the solid rock walls! At the Johnson GEO CENTRE, you will be intrigued by the stories behind the radical changes that take place in our climate; and the constant, all-powerful influences of the Sun and our Earth’s gravity. And you will also marvel as you look at what lies far beyond our planet, into the far reaches of outer space, where science tells us how our Earth’s future is unfolding. Even the heating system is unique. The GEO CENTRE is heated by the Earth itself, through holes drilled over 150 metres (500 feet) into the rock, using heat pumps to circulate fluids that heat or cool the building. |
