The new President of UW is a widely respected public health scholar and 6-year CEO of Public Health Ontario - I think its a given they are working towards that and was actually more surprised they weren't in the original announcement, though I'm sure this is part of building the support up to it.
Here's a completely random 60 acres, just for a point of reference...
That really does illustrate how gigantic 60 acres really is. Definitely unnecessary for just a hospital.
I think it would make sense on North Campus, but I doubt we'll see it. UW seems dedicated to extracting maximum value without regard for any social benefits from that land area.
