Hi All, I am attempting the ITE study for a research building with below ground parking located on a hospital campus. I am wondering if the the building can be considered stand-alone or if the other buildings on campus must somehow be factored in. I would check The Minimum Program Requirements supplemental guidance document but the link herein appears broken or no longer valid. Thanks in advance for any guidance on this topic!

Jennifer, If the parking being included in the study is reserved solely for the research building, then there is no need to include other building types on the campus in the ITE study calculations. If the parking serves multiple buildings, then all of those building types must be represented in your calculations. For example, if I was building a new K-12 school next to an existing office building, and there was existing parking that would now be serving the school and the office building, then both building types would need to be incorporated into the calculations. Hope that helps!
