What no one is mentioning is the move for 404 Wing, from Dutton Drive. That qualifies as poor transit location for a facility.
Moving away from Dutton Drive seems like an obviously reasonable choice.
For the centre at Allen and King, I would prefer to see the site redeveloped quite tall (or even part of the Brick Brewery redevelopment) with the existing facilities being accommodated on lower floors of the new development. Moving everything to WMRC seems like over-consolidation, especially given the poor transit access to that location (OK, better than Dutton Drive, ironically, but still not great and certainly compared to King and Allen).
