I registered a utility training center as an individual project on LEED Online, because at the time that was our understanding. Now we have almost completed design and there are at least two buildings that will be added in the future. My team is a little unclear about how to finalize our LEED project boundary. I guess my question is if we use the whole site, will that affect future buildings that will want to peruse LEED, if those project boundaries were to inter-cross? Our concern now is that we don't want be gerrymandering on our current project. But we feel the best path is to only certify the main building at this time.
Hope this makes sense.

It sounds like the LEED boundary for this certification should only include the site area for the first building, since you're only moving forward with certification officially for one building right now.

Rachel—It might also be possible to pursue a “Master Site” campus certification using the LEED Campus Guidance for Projects on a Shared Site (http://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-campus-guidance).
This allows separate projects to use a single site for many of while pursuing separate certifications for each building on that site. This approach works well for buildings that will be built at different times. Also see LEEDuser’s campus page (http://www.leeduser.com/topic/new-leed-guidance-campuses-and-multiple-bu...).
