I realize the UW ownership makes it untenable, but I think something in the R&T park would work well, in terms of access (especially once it has an LRT stop!), distance from the other hospitals, and ability for other specialist firms to locate nearby.
Completely agree. I think UW's North Campus is an ideal location for a new hospital and would serve Waterloo well. There is lots of land right off Westmount Road that would be ideal and give great access. Being university land, the zoning permits a hospital. It is also very central to much of the City and the northwest sides of the Region.
Perhaps a new state of the art teaching hospital and medical school for UW to compliment the School of Pharmacy and School of Optometry and existing partnership with McMaster University??
