So 10 million sqf of research space downtown? That's a shitload of office towers. Seems our future is bright!

I think what they mean is if you add in all the space from the hospital research wings, and the extra hospital buildings, and all of the uoft buildings, the potential is to expand MaRS influence to 10 million.

Either way, I hope this gets done ASAP. Canada just ranked really horribly on a bunch of rankings in R&D related matters, I hope we can start reversing that trend.

I'm not up to date on the subject, but I was under the impression that Toronto was doing extremely well in that area... has something changed?

Hmm was thinking of this: http://www.thestar.com/article/224616

But then of course those reports are always somewhat misleading. I remember reading in the G&B version of that, something that also critized our R&D, but maybe I'm wrong.

Either way, Toronto needs all the R&D jobs it can get, the more the better!
