This looks like it was taken some time ago, but I never saw this angle before.

I do not fancy the color selection one bit. The yellow looks a bit like exposed insulation from a block away.

The yellow looks like crap. But I find this building so weird and random that I cant help but to like it.

the corrupt elevated concrete parking garage though is an ambarassment.

it's growing on me. The materials seem high quality enough that the colours hopefully shouldn't fade or dirty up too much, so it won't look like crap.

Beats the former Zellers office building that stood there all alone (save for the fugly apartment building) for years. Can it really be 24 years since I started by ug degree at Concordia? I spent a lot of time on Loyola campus during the early years.

The land use is way too suburban for my taste.

Also not a huge fan of the architecture of materials. With "McGill" in the name, I would have expected to see a higher caliber.

I think the human scale of the project and green spaces are supposed to be part of a calming environment that encourages healing. I suppose you much prefer the downtown towers of the CHUM hospital?

There is some truth to both theWestisDead's and MTLskyline's remarks.

The inclusion of green space is a nice feature that can indeed provide patients and workers with a relaxing space to enjoy their lunch or get some fresh air.

Unfortunately, MTLskyline is right about the somewhat illogical suburban site layout. Viewing the overhead plan shows a stunningly inefficient use of space. This project would have been better off aligned with the street grid.

A continuous frontage close to the street would have shortened the walking distance from the transit station, eliminated wasted space, and provided more area for a larger green space.

They goofed just a bit, but it's not catastrophic either.

Saw a picture of the Royal London Hospital, and I can see the familial resemblance to both new Montreal superhospitals.

From this angle, the MUHC:

From this angle, the CHUM:
