We are working on one of the new arenas for the next world cup and we have two scenarios regarding population and space usage types: the first one is the world cup scenario: there will be spaces designed specifically to attend the world cup staff and necessities, and the designed full audience cacacity is 42.000, the second one is the legacy scenario: those spaces designed to attend the world cup necessities will be dissembled and the full audience capacity will be reduced to 30.000. The goal is to certifiy the arena as a whole, in other words, the expectation is that the legacy remains certified. In this case, what scenario must we adopt in order to define the occupancy types and the FTE calculations? Thanks again, in advance..

The MPR Supplemental Guidance for MPR#2 does say buildings need to be "permanent" - so temporary or movable buildings can't earn certification. Your situation is unique and complicated enough that you probably need to contact GBCI and get their official opinion.

did you have a reply already on this issue? I would say that the permanent facility is build for 30.000 with a temporary facility to expand to 45.000. An other theory could be that future plans are not secure for now..so it's build for 45.000.
