Campus Project - With Only one Building to be LEED certified

In the past it was acceptable to submit a primary building and support buildings as a single project. I use the term ancillary to distinguish to describe such structures, and do not call them buildings.

I am about to submit a Platinum NCv2.2 project with the following structures secondary to the primary building, as a non-campus project.

Cover Storage: Attached to building along one edge, otherwise open to the environment. This is being treated as an exterior shading canopy.

Ice Room: A less than 1000 sq.ft. structure, completely enclosed, use to store ice generated by ice machines. This is a non-occupied ancillary/storage building.

Truck Vehicle Wash: A less than 1000 s.ft. structure that is not regularly occupied, and is not conditioned. Only vehicles go through the wash.

Security Office: A less than 1000 sq.ft. 2-person building. This is an ancillary structure that is regularly occupied. This building is sure to cause the reviewers grief but it cannot be a LEED building per the v2009 MPRs, which I am certain will be applied by the reviewers even though this is a v2.2 project.

The security office was constructed as part of the same project work as the primary building. It is under the single contractor's scope of work and it entirely inside the LEED boundary. Per v2009 MPRs it an area inside your boundary and within your scope-of-work cannot be arbitrarily removed.

The only thing that makes sense is to include the small security office as an ancillary structure. There is nothing else that can be done. It cannot be removed without violating MPRs. It cannot be LEED because it is too small. It is the general contractor's scope-of-work. It must be included somehow.

What is also important to note is that including the ancillary structures, including the security office, makes no difference on the LEED points achieved. None. Nada. Zero. The main building is by far the determining factor in the LEED points documented and the claims made.

I should note that the owner has three LEED Platinum projects in the works, all which are using campus credits for parking, bikes, green vehicles, and stormwater management. Unfortunately, because two of the three are v2.2 and is v3 we cannot use the LEED 2009 AGMBC beacuse there is no option to do so. We must submit the same credit documentation three times and get three set of review comments. Very messy, and ugly when one reviewer disagrees with another, which has happened to me on other campus multi-building projects.

Hi, when calculating the building footprint, did you include the ancillary buldings as well, or did you calculated their footprint as hardscape?
