What if 2/3 of the project is Major Refurbishment?

Hello, I was wondering if I could get your opinion on which LEED Scheme I should use. Our client wants to entirely refurbish a school block that is 100 years old. Windows, HVAC systems, flooring and other items will be amended. In addition the client would like to add to the existing block a new part that will constitute approx one third of the total block. The block will serve as classrooms and a learning center for grades 7, 8 and 9. Which LEED scheme should I use, knowing that 2/3 of the block will be refurbished and 1/3 of the block will be completely new. Is it LEED for schools for the whole building? Thanks for your help,

George, it sounds like LEED for Schools for the whole building. Even though the parts of the building have different types of work being done, 100% of the building has work being done at the level of renovatin or construction appropriate for LEED for Schools.
