Great forum and good information shared has answered a number of our questions, thanks!
On the site boundary for an urban campus public assembly building we're still not 100% on how to draw it. This is a facility that is used occassionally (maybe 10 times a year). There is an adjacent parking lot that is used daily throughout the year to access classrooms and the medical center. On the few times a year when our facility will be used the lot is used for the facility so does it become part of our boundary, even though the main use for the parking lot is for other buildings? Our facility is open daily but the parking lot is not used to support the normal building operations, just event days.
"The LEED project boundary must include all contiguous land that is associated with and supports normal building operations for the LEED project building, including all land that was or will be disturbed for the purpose of undertaking the LEED project"
Hope I'm making sense here?

Chris, I think you need to look at this in terms of a campus situation, via the AGMBC. I would probably include the parking lot to be on the safe side, but if other buildings on the campus will be LEED certified, you may want to look at the campus as a whole in terms of where you place your boundaries.

Is there a list where we could see if a Master Site has been established for a campus? The contact we've been given at the University will not return emails/phone calls (weird, eh?).
Now this parking lot is being renovated outside of our scope/design/construction control. Do we have to recalculate our credits based on this other design?
It seems counterintuitive that we would include this lot which is used by our project less than 2% per year and is now being 'redone' outside of our control......
Thanks!
