Hospitals in KW

[panamaniac]

For reference,  Kitchener's Woodlawn Cemetery is about 50 acres.  I think the K-W Hospital would be on less than 25 acres, not counting ancillary buildings beyond the main site.

I was doing a bit of reading about the new Ottawa Hospital and it seems that new trends, specifically one patient per room and reducing movements between floors are two elemenst contributing to larger hospital sites (ie. the buildings have larger footprints).  There must be other factors as well, but the total land "ask" still seems very high.  And it's not just about parking (the new Ottawa Hospital will have a huge parking garage but relatively little surface parking).
