They are all within a couple of hundred meters of the of the Lees LRT station. Under the LRT TOD plan the City would like to see buildings as high as 30 stories that close to the station. I do not know if the university will build that high. The university intends to build a new Faculty of Health Sciences building as the first project there. The open space across the 417 from the old Lees buildings , nicknamed The Bowl , with the official address of 1 Robinson Av. Is also in the TOD area and will be part of the university plan as it is now owned by the uni.
Rumour has it that they may start construction on the new FHS building in two years.

Are the buildings open to the public? I used to visit when I was younger when my dad taught in that building before his department moved to Woodroffe, and it would be neat to visit it once more. I remember it being really dark.
