Currently under construction at Hamilton General Hospital that should help to create 200 research jobs which will further diversify Hamilton's economy into the growing health and research sector.

this is a great project.
especially considering the area of town it's in. more of this would be great in the north end.

I'm a lil confused. Is the glass façade going to face Wellington, or is it facing inwards into a courtyard or something?

raisethehammer · #4 Posted **Oct 30, 2007, 9:07 PM**

it faces Wellington, but yes, it will be facing a courtyard once the new 3 storey building along Wellington is built.

With the relocation of the helipad HHS will work up a plan for the office building, 8 storey, which is highlighted as the green square.

i can't be bothered to make a separate thread for this. i noticed that the old stone building on the general hospital's property is being renovated. i seem to recall the plan being a long-term residence for families kinda like ronald mcdonald house. maybe i'll get a photo of it.

raisethehammer · #8 Posted **Nov 19, 2007, 11:45 PM**

yea, I think it's called the Mark Price house or something like that.
Great news. We knock down too many old buildings in this city, glad to see one being restored.
Can't say the same for James South/Charlton now...looks like heck already.

I usually love my view from my apt... however, when I look west right now all I see is a wrecking crane and a half-torn-down historic home

Needless to say, those curtains have been shut the last 3 days. hahaha

Good to hear about that old carriage house or whatever it used to be. I always loved it, yet been scared by it at the same time. haha As a kid going to Real McCoy sports (now closed) on Barton, we would pass it. I always thought it was like the Hanzel & Gretle house or something hahaha

This is taken looking at the north side or the top of the diagram. The crane on the left is the building to the east with the blue arrow. The "NEW" crane going in is for the bulding to the west, red arrow.

raisethehammer · #11 Posted **Mar 24, 2008, 4:55 PM**

yea, I noticed all these trucks going past on York all morning with cranes. I just came back and saw that they were assembling a new one at General. Cool stuff.
The Research Institute is coming along quick...working on the 2nd floor already.

Pictures taken 17 April 2008

New Ferguson Avenue bridge just west of the Hamilton General Hospital's new parking area.

raisethehammer · #13 Posted **Apr 21, 2008, 1:06 PM**

none of the pics work for me.

SteelTown · #14 Posted **Apr 21, 2008, 1:10 PM**

Works for me.

Two cranes for the General and two cranes for Henderson. HHS is booming lol

the dude · #15 Posted **Apr 21, 2008, 3:40 PM**

can you tweak those pics, likehamilton? not showing up for me either. i'm looking forward to seeing the bridge.

LikeHamilton · #16 Posted **Apr 21, 2008, 3:54 PM**

It appears that my photo service " Image Shack" is down.

DC83 · #17 Posted **Apr 21, 2008, 5:18 PM**

I was just down here on yesterday, and the whole area is lookin busy. The new park across the street (where the bridge is attached to) is awesome.

Only complaint I have is that the nicer building is being stuck behind the hospital and will be enclosed by the other building which will run along Wellington. They should have put THIS bldg along Wellington! The streetscape needs it!! haha

I totally agree!
I know they want the building to face the green courtyard, but I wish it faced Wellington St.

They were doing the Mary Street bridge at the same time I believe. I've used it a cpl times... plus it lets u off right near Bonanza Bakery, so after a long rollerblade at the Bay, I just blade across the new Mart Street ped bridge and grab a mystery meat sandwich! Mmmm!
