But yeah, if this was planned to go up in an established part of the main campus, or one of the lots along Cootes, there would be zero complaint.
People living in the Main West corridor are going to have to get used to change though. We've seen other proposals that dwarf the existing low-rise streetscape and homes; there will be many more because of the LRT.

Yep, all of Main St West for 2km on either side of Mac's campus should be zoned to allow 15-25 storey residential towers with LRT and the student-exacerbated housing crisis in mind. It's embarrassing how much surface level parking there is around that LRT stop and how poorly student housing around Mac's campus is planned.
