Greetings.I am working on a project for a previously certified LEED community college campus (circa 2010). Our project consists of three buildings one of which is an existing building, again previously certified, that will receive a light interior renovation, the other two buildings are new construction. All these buildings are under one construction project. On the existing building, the interior renovation is not 40% of the GFA. My questions is how to register this project? Should I register as campus group for just the two new buildings and/or also register the existing building as a ID+C project? If the existing building is included in our registration I would be certifying a project in an already certified building. Would GBCI find it acceptable to only consider the two new buildings in our LEED project registration if in our construction contract we have three buildings? I hope this makes some kind of sense. Just want to make sure I get this right. Thank you in advance for your help.

1. You can proceed with certification of 2 buildings or even 1 building – GBCI does not care how much buildings is in your contract. You just need to be correct in boundary selection to distinguish between LEED and nonLEED buildings and building sites (see guide for multiple buildings certification).
2. As a PM at past - my first question is – what states your contrcact with the client? How many buildings and at what level it must be certified? It's the main question you need t answer to proceed further.
Please describe situation properly, in order to give us correct data - based on which we can advise correctly.
