You didn't ask this question, but have you considered whether you can pursue LEED-CI for just one floor, and not other floors used by the same client? If you haven't already, check the stipulation of MPR#2 in the MPR supplemental guidance doc.To answer your question: yes, you can take this approach if the space meets the other requirements for access (distance, etc.) However, I think the MPR issue is very relevant here, and with good reason.

Yes, the project is LEED-CI. The client is expanding into an additional floor in the building. The client's other already-occupied floors are not being renovated. You make a good point. It seems our only option to achieve this credit is to apply only the project's FTE to the existing bike storage and showers (not the client's total FTE within the building) or else we begin to toe the line in not complying with MPR#2. We will also need to keep in mind for future projects in the building for the client, we cannot take these same measures, but will need to provide additional bike storage and showers project-by-project.
