And! We have a cooler skyline! I'm curious as to your comment though, is Houston or Texas Medical Center used as benchmark when comparing medical campuses in terms of size?

The University Health Network in Toronto is the Texas Medical Center of Canada and the biggest competition for research dollars.

Heard this site has shut down due to covid, also heard that all PCL sites will be shutdown.

Pretty sure that’s incorrect

Sorry, did not mean that it was shut down due to covid being present, just that construction is being stopped, probably to reduce non essential people on site at foothills. I won’t be surprised if we start having more sites more construction sites closed down for preventative measures.

This is a very big building. Looms quite large on the horizon:
..and still 3 more floors to go I believe.

Has this reached its full height?

No. X'd sections are to come by my count, horizontal lines are where the building is built up to.

Oh wow, quite the cluster.
Just imagine if the whole Foothills complex was walkable or built along true rapid transit. It would look pretty similar except be more functional to more people, cheaper in time/money for staff and visitors to use, and have a significant reduced environmental footprint.
