At that point, we would rarely would go back to the medical school other than for special lectures or ceremonies. I think we could easily have the medical school situated at main campus or Lees without too much inconvenience to the students/faculty. In fact, from a transit perspective, most MS1/MS2 students would have preferred those locations!

I can imagine. Quite frustrating how bad the transit service is at the General campus, considering it serves several hospitals and a university campus. And since nearly all our hospitals throughout the city are teaching hospitals, picking one for the campus over the others was a choice.
I wish uOttawa was building its new research centre at the new Civic instead.
As a side note, I wonder how the new health sciences building has boosted the ridership of Lees station. Or has it reduced the ridership of uOttawa.
