We are renovating a large portion of a bldg on a University campus but there is a significant area of the building we are not touching at all. It was renovated a couple of years ago. Can we get certified in NC for only the area we are working in or do we need to use CI?

Samuel, some rough square footage numbers would help to answer your question. You should also look at the rating system guidance document referenced above, and MPR3.

I think I know the answer but...
Roughly: gross 130K sq. ft.
renovation: 60K sq. ft

Samuel, you could definitely not use NC for the renovation, since NC is a whole-building rating system and you are talking about just a fraction of the building. Whether you can use CI for the renovation, or whether you need to apply NC to the entire building, depends on reading the guidance document and MPR3, which I've already referred you to.
