Thread: Medical Center and surrendering Doctor...
The med-center should stay, you can pick it up but not place a new one.
The med-center even stays after the town is removed which had the med-center.
Exactly... all class specific housing is like this whether it be CM, Dancer (Theatre & Cantina), Musician, Doctor or Merchant (x4xx can place tents), staybutcan't be replaced if you give up the skillbox that allows you to place it.

can you transfer ownership of the structure to someone without the skill to place it?
Nope. I tried that with my Cantina and was not able to transfer it to someone else - I think unless they also qualify to place it. So you could pass it over to another Master Doc or Master Combat Medic but thats it.
On another note, I'm curious as to whether with the new changes for picking up houses will extend to hospitals at some stage, and if so, could somebody who's placed a hospital then dropped Doc then pick it up and move it...

Hmmm perhaps something has changed because I'm sure you could transfer a hospital at one time or another... we put up 4 in our town one time as they're the best lot : storage ratio, going back a while though...I just didn't think we had 4 docs....meh perhaps we did.
You can transfer... but only to a person that can place it. The only time you could transfer it to someone who didn't have the class what early after they released them in game. There was a short period that certain buildings could be transfered without needing the skill to place it. It was quickly quashed.

Presently, as reported in TC, the building and items will fold up into your datapad. All "housing" structures are included which by definition is any building that you can declare residence in (which includes the Merchant tent, Theatre, Cantina and Hospital) I assume they are coding to allow you to place any item in the datapad down reguardless of skill. It's the only way it could be "fair" as you'd lose all items and the building or it'd be stuck in your datapad til you attained the proper skill again. That could be a consideration behind the pushing back of that feature to live.
As the housing pick-up is the forerunner to the housing purge... will they actually have the other structures (factories and extractors) go into the datapad as well? Or only for cancelled or inactive accounts? That is the last step to the true housing purge... and it can't come any faster.
