We currently working on a project that will be pursuing LEED certification. The building resides on a campus but we are only certifying one building as part of our contract. We are currently pursuing SSc6.1 and SSc6.2 based on our LEED boundary. Future projects on the campus will be LEED certified however they are not part of the scope of work for this project. My question is, can SSc6.1 and SS6.2 be achieved if they are based on the area within our LEED boundary or are we required to document compliance for the entire campus?

You do not have to show compliance for the entire campus. If the stormwater retention/detention and quality controls are within the LEED boundary of your current project then you need only demonstrate compliance for that area. Future projects on the campus can use the already installed system, as long as they can demonstrate that there is enough capacity for the additional site area(s) regardless of the location of the system. It is expected in a campus setting that much of the infrastructure will be shared or centralized.
