Physically, it's quite different from the area around it, which is no surprise since it was built all at one time, but one of the ideals of demolishing the old hospital complex and building a completely new one was to integrate it into the city. The surrounding neighbourhood is quite aesthetically different than this collection of New Modernist midrise buildings. It's low-rise not mid-rise, and Victorian not New Modernist. There will likely always be a perceptible boundary. But the new "district" does look quite good. I wish we could build neighbourhoods with this kind of built form: side streets with mostly low-rise and mid-rise apartment buildings built close to the street with at least decent architecture and streets lined with trees between the sidewalk and the curb. The major streets would be lined with mixed-use buildings as done in one instance as part of this reconstruction. It's a scale and form of design that feels more satisfyingly urban than the typical New Urban subdivision of rowhouses, but not overpowering like the high-rise dominated 'Southcore'. It's too bad that they're not saving any of the old buildings. At least one restored campus-era building would look good in the district, giving it more of an organic element of old and new.
