I am working on a Community Center that has been registered for LEED BD+C NC. The occupancy estimate of our project is currently unknown, and I am unable to reference a default occupancy count from Appendix 2 since there are no numbers provided for community / recreation facilities. Could someone point me in the direction where I could obtain this data?

Hi Elizabeth,
Are you able to find the most similar project type based on what is planned to occur within the community center? I'm thinking likely one of the education types would be closest from the list provided. If you can determine what an appropriate SF per person allocation would be that should at least give you a starting point.
An alternative way to get an idea until you can get more solid intel could be to ask the Arch team how they'll be determining the proper quantity of restroom fixtures, a value that is also based on anticipated average quantity of users at a time, but not necessarily maximum capacity legally allowed.
