Hi Everyone,
We have a project that includes three dorms, a dining hall, and a master site -- we were interested in transitioning this over to the new platform but we weren't sure if a project can be BOTH a group and campus project. Is it possible for the three dorms to pursue group certification while the master site and dining hall pursue campus certification? Also, to take a step backwards, can you do both a master site and group certification?
Thanks!

It is my understanding that you can do a Group Certification within a Master Site - the 2011 AGMBC has images that show this. There would be some documentation efficiencies to go that route especially for the Group. I would then believe the Group Certification could take advantage of the Master Site credits as well. However from a review fee standpoint just doing the Master Site with each individual project under that would be the more efficient way to go. I do not know if GBCI would grant the 20% review fee discount on the Group Certification if it were to be within the Master Site - that would be a question to ask.

Hi Laura, Yes, you can combine the Group certification and Campus credit (aka Master Site) approaches from the AGMBC. However, Donald is correct that only individual building "Campus Projects" are eligible for the 20% discount on the review fees. "Campus Group Projects" do not receive that discount.
