Moving the hospital or medical school out of Georgetown or that region of DC would be heartbreaking. The current situation around the campus is entirely too congested and disorganized however good planning, design, and phasing can address the problems which really stem from the low density brutalist style plaza and pavilion classroom and lab building that stretches on eastward from the hospital for several city blocks. If this sprawling underutilized area was rebuilt without the unused plaza and other inefficiencies into a bucolic ivy covered brick, stone, and ivy cluster of buildings more respectful to the fantastic icon of Healy Hall there would be space to replace the medical center, expand the medical school, deal with transportation, and integrate new parking within the buildings. The campus would benefit as would the neighborhood while the great spirit the medical school and hospital bring to the Georgetown University experience would be retained and enhanced.
