Sorry, I haven't been on site recently. I hope to get more in early August.

Shaping up to be just as leaden and bunker-like as the previous phase.

I'm hoping for the best for the atrium portion. Phase I and the north part of Phase II are rather utilitarian and uninspiring. We'll see in a year or so.

It has come a long way. New front page story here.

WCH turns it's back on beauty again: the wall facing West onto the planned park, view of Parliament, and setting sun is a blank windowless panel. My disappointment at this aside, I realize the park is probably a peacekeeper for a future development, and the blank wall makes practical sense.

This building has really grown on me for some reason. One thing I can't stand is that generic cover/sign above the ambulance in that last photo. You'd think they could've done something a little more creative and original.

That splotchy cladding is truly hideous.

Slabby slab slab.

For a brief moment I thought they were already demolishing the new hospital! Since we are on a nostalgia trip, here's one of the (old) building in 1930.
