The school project we are working on has bicycle storage but no shower facility provided. This school is also connected to a NON-LEED building that has gymnasium. I know this is allowed under USGBC, but I am having difficulty conveying this information. My suggestion to the school was to have the administrators of the NON LEED write a letter that allows the LEED building users to use the shower facility. Will this work? Any other suggestions? Are there templates I can use?

Hi Amoy, yes, as long as the distance requirement is met - 200 yards. I am not aware of any templates but something to be aware of if you are going to be using showers in the adjacent building, you must include occupancy for both buildings to demonstrate there are enough showers for all. When I have done this in the past it was a little challenging trying to get occupancy information for those outside of our LEED project. I suggest providing a narrative with your LEED documentation walking the reviewers through the situation and how you are accounting for all users who have access to the showers.
