Last week, at the Mayor's breakfast, UOttawa President Jacques Fremont delivered a speech.
He spoke about the new Advanced Medical Research Centre to be built at the Alta Vista Campus. Plans call for it to open in 2025 with construction starting in a few months from now.
It will bring hundreds of new employees to the site(better public transit would be nice). It is expected to attract international researchers and a stream of research funds. It is expected to foster start-up firms in the Life Sciences.
It is projected that it will generate one billion dollars of economic activity yearly in Ottawa by 2030.
