We're pursuing LEED CI for an executive lounge within an airport terminal. There is a bicycle parking area within 200 yards of the terminal entry, and we have showers within the tenant space that are within 200 yards of the lounge entry. The lounge itself is not, however, within 200 yards of the building entry. The credit language says, "Shower facilities may be either within the tenant's space or in a common facility within 200 yards of the main building entrance." Does this mean that we still qualify or is it saying that both options have to be within 200 yards of the building entry?

Sounds like you would meet the intent of the requirements if the showers are within the overall tenant space. That they are also within 200 yards of the lounge entry, the space pursuing LEED CI, only helps. The credit wording doesn't appear to require the showers to be within 200 yards of the building entry if they are within the tenant space, especially given the context of a large airport. Hope that helps!
