I think it's been discussed before, but I think one of the criteria was how close the hospital would be to the main intersection of Westmount/Bearinger/Northfield for fastest ambulance arrival time. I'm not sure how much more it adds to the trip if the ambulance were to need to get further into the R+T park.
I'm also not an expert in hospital design, but it sounds from the description from WRHN as if the plan if for a modular construction approach where departments are added over time the same way that they have been to KW Hospital and Cambridge Memorial. Perhaps funding and other resources don't allow for a once-and-done massive building.
While we're talking about wish lists, Hagey Blvd and Wes Graham Way could serve as a useful return loop for any buses that traveled north along Fisher-Hallman Rd or east along Northfield Drive before returning along their journey. A little rearrangement around the R+T Park station could make space for some connecting bus bays. The London Victoria Health Sciences Centre has 4-5 bus stops that surround the campus.
