At a new corporate campus, we are trying to apply the credit for C&S via the multiple buildings options. in aggregate, the SF is over 600k so Option #2 will apply.

How do you apply distance to the shower facilities for compliance? currently, the racks are less than 200 yards of all 4 entrances, but the shower facilities (in the fitness center) are located in building 3 of 4. Two questions/options to understand compliance requirements and how the 200 yard distances are applied:

1) Do the entrances of the other buildings need to be within 200 yards of building 3 or the showers? This would imply that the real requirement must include distance to entrances after a shower is taken, which is certainly not stated in any of their published guidelines.
2) Because building 3 is fully compliant in both rack distance (as are all buildings incidentally) and then distance to the showers, does this count for the whole project?

It appears that the second question does not fit the multiple building guide, but it seems odd that the USGBC would penalize a campus for consolidating the showers and otherwise force showers in all buildings or require that their separation distance be so small as to create almost unusable open space between buildings that may be in shadow much of the time as a result. I might understand them looking down on very wide separations that would certainly discourage bike use by those working (or attending class as might be the case in a college campus setting) in more distance buildings of the campus, but the reality is that 2 of the other three buildign entrances are within 200 yards of the building 3 entrance with the fourth only an additonal 50 yards beyond this threshold.

If this were a university campus, would they really require showers in classroom buildings surrounding a student center with fitness room but still just out side the 200 yard entrance to entrance requirement?
