It's funny they put up these special Maple community street signs even old Maple is 2 km away.

Big hospital for this area.
 
Glad Vaughan is finally getting a hospital but it’s in the wrong location. It’s way too close to York Region hospital Mackenzie site just a few kms down the road. It should have been built further south and west - near VMC to be more accessible.
 
Many people considered Zeidler's McMaster University Hospital was industrially awful when it was built…

but it has Brutalist dignity.

This, on the other hand, just looks brutal, literally, a health factory I suppose if you know what's going on inside, (and I assume it will be wonderful inside) but there has not even been an attempt made here to give this building any stylistic integrity whatsoever. It is completely bereft of aesthetic endeavour on its exterior, its face to the world.

Eek. Ack.
