Got that. Mine was simply that it's not their default mode with regard to exspansion. They've never done a bang-up job to any building that they weren't already occupying. It seems like a relevant distinction.
As with so many municipal crises, it's a lot easier to head this sort of sub-par development off if you're able to colour the conversation early on. This particular case goes back to, what, 2006-2007? Hamilton clearly needs an active architectural defense league to champion the cause long in advance.
Having said that, Mr. Jelly's dream solution is not a new one.
"The school board, McMaster and Hamilton Public Health will plan construction of a shared facility on a portion of the Education Centre’s current site between King and Main streets along Bay Street. For the past year McMaster has been examining opportunities to build a Family Health Centre which will combine a large primary care and learning centre with complementary research groups and related commercial activities.
"We’ve always had a clear vision for a Downtown Family Health Centre and the many benefits it will bring to patients, downtown revitalization and the overall city," said John Kelton, dean and vice-president of the McMaster’s Faculty of Health Sciences.
"Working together with the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board significantly enhances that vision and the value that it brings to Hamilton. We look forward to our ongoing discussions with both the school board and the city to find ways to make the dream a reality."

Again, here's where a dedicated and vigilant advocacy group would be worth its weight in white Cherokee marble. Divserse civic passions are great, but multitasking reduces effectiveness.
