Who the heck wants to work in a "campus"? The word just brings thoughts of working for Initech (Office Space) and depresses the hell of out me.
I'll take my (nearly) downtown office (10th ave SW) and my 15 minute walking commute over some soul destroying cube farm job at Imperial. Maybe the rest of the big Oil companies will move out and some more innovative companies can take over the core.
Transit in this city is designed to bring people in and out of the core. Trying to do anything else is atrociously painful - I feel nothing but pity for Imperial employees right now.

Speaking as someone who works in a campus that is not downtown, I disagree entirely.
There certainly will be turnover as employees in the far northwest who don't want to move assess their options. But younger employees? They're going to build houses in Seton, Mahogany, Copperfield, and even Quarry Park itself and enjoy easy commutes that don't involve Deerfoot, the ctrain or downtown.
