On 30 June 1979, the building was amalgamated with the nearby expanding Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). Today, it remains a part of the RMIT City campus, and has been refurbished to house the RMIT Graduate School of Business.
The building is registered as "significant" and a "notable building" with the Victorian Heritage Register and the National Trust of Australia.
