I’m trying to confirm the LEED Project Boundary. Normally, the LEED Project Boundary for a single building development would be the same as the site boundary. However, the construction of our classroom building is going to allow us to eliminate 17 portables and create a huge open green space in front of the new building. So my thinking is since we are pursuing the Maximize Open Space I will need to include the space where the portables currently exist as part of the LEED Project Boundary. Is that correct?

I would think that if you are removing 17 portables and relandscaping that area as part of your project that this area is also part of the site boundary. Read the campus guide and don't gerrymander the boundary.

Property lines & project boundaries do not coincide sometimes. What I normally submit to LEED is the limit of work. If you are doing work here and there, explain in a narrative the scope and limit of your work. It's not always a good thing to have a bigger area. Consistency is one key when showing to the Reviewer your real intent.
