Hi, I would like to clarify if our non-US project can qualify for this credit. The project is a building on a greater campus setting, will be on previously landscaped grounds, which is not used as a recreational park. Will our project qualify?

If this is just campus grounds and not a park you should be fine. I have had a project in Europe with a similar setting as you have described above. The difficulty for non-US projects is to show equivalence to all the US definitions. Use local laws and regulations, which may prevent you form using such areas anyway, or zoning maps to show that you are meeting the intent of the credit.
