A large building beside the Heather Pavillion is undergoing demolition. Does anyone know what is planned for that corner of the VGH campus?

Its my understanding that the moderne buildings built on the west side of Heather between 10th and 12th, and on the south side 700 block of 10th are to be demolished to create a park-like setting and reveal the original 1907 Vancouver General Hospital. In the picture, you can see part of the 1907 building peeking out behind the demolition. A few years ago I heard that the 1907 building will be renovated to become the new nurses residence.

A new tower is under construction on Broadway between Hemlock and Alder.

This is the site of the old BigBamBoo club (quite infamous for its weekly fights and stabbings). There were a few name changes over the years with the last one being BarCode. Changing its name every few years didn't lessen it's reputation for weekly fights, stabbings and occasional "gun play"
