So I was chatting and got some more news.
Another option they are considering is somewhere near the University of Waterloo, possibly near the Research and Technology park. The university is considering a land grant, as this would allow certain faculties of the university to participate with placements, research programs and so on which they already do (they have offices at the cancer center and I think the pharmacy faculty also does a lot of work with the hospital).
I think this would be a really good option since the LRT is nearby. It's still a little far from the core of the city, but it's at least nearby transit, arterial roads and having the university nearby would be great. It wouldn't exactly be a teaching hospital, I think, but it would be similar. If a land grant was offered, this would also solve the problem of space.
None of this is confirmed of course, I'm just going by what I'm privy to but it'll be interesting to see what they do. I really really really hope they build it in a logical place and not in the suburbs.
