I thought that was going to be the new Sheriff's office. Could be wrong, though.

City police are moving in. And there's nothing shitty about it.

At one point there was talk of making it a charity hospital but I think that has since died down.

Hospital moved down Airline, across from Pecue Lane.

Last I heard, I think the EBR Sheriff's office had bought the old place and was going to move there, but don't quote me on that, and not sure where that stands.

The Hospital moved down Airline to Pecue Lane. The BRPD is moving in. The dogs of Goodwood and Sherwood Forest have s%$t themselves in fear.

Two charity hospitals within a few miles of each other is definitely a necessity over there.

Were/are abortions performed at Women's Hospital?

Are Scientologists invloved with Women's Hospital?

Did not know either of that.

There's easily room for city police and parish sheriff's to share the whole building. You're talking, what, 2500, 3000 employees total?

from 2013:
quote:


Baton Rouge will buy the former Woman’s Hospital campus for $11 million and turn it into a public safety complex, after the city-parish’s Metro Council easily approved the deal Wednesday.

Council members had nothing but praise for the purchase. The 24-acre facility at Airline Highway and Goodwood Boulevard will first be used to house the headquarters for the Baton Rouge Police Department, and plans call for it eventually to expand to house the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office and an Emergency Medical Services station.


quote:

The Police Department could move into the doctors office tower on the hospital’s campus by the end of the year, Daniel said.

The older section of the main hospital building will likely be demolished, while the Sheriff’s Office and a training academy could be housed in the newer section of the building, a recent report proposed.



The physicians' office tower at the former Woman's Hospital site, where the Baton Rouge Department would be housed.
quote:


The 24-acre Woman’s Hospital site at Airline Highway and Goodwood Boulevard has seven large buildings totaling about 672,000 square feet. Daniel said that the 344,000-square-foot original section of the main hospital building will likely be demolished because it is outdated and would be difficult to renovate into a space suitable for public safety operations.

The police department would move into the four-story, 140,000-square-foot physician’s office tower, which Daniel said was used previously as medical offices for doctors, dentists and other medical professionals.




quote:

In the longer term, plans proposed in a due diligence report given to the Metro Council call for the sheriff’s office to be housed in a 46,000-square-foot space within the more modern section of the main hospital building. Other space in the main building would be used for a training facility shared by police and the sheriff’s office.

Nope. Which is why the hauntings are so mysterious, like the meaning of life, or how Ke$ha ever made music.
