This project is located on a multi-building medical campus in Illinois. Typical of a campus, it is composed of numerous existing buildings, parking structures, surface lots and circulation streets. The campus is proposing to build, as separately bid projects, a new inpatient building, some additions to existing buildings, and a new multi-level parking structure. Our intent is to pursue LEED Certification for the new inpatient building, a new multi-level parking structure and new portions of site work on the campus, but not the additions to existing buildings. The campus is organized along a main street approximately three (3) city blocks, with existing facilities and buildings on both sides of the street. The LEED Project Boundary includes portions of the three (3) city blocks, but does not include the city owned streets or street sidewalks, as the client does not have complete control of the design and construction of the area in the public right-of-way. We wish to apply for an Innovation in Design (ID) credit which incorporates the requirements of LEED for Neighborhood Development NPD Credit 7. As part of the overall campus, we are designing traffic calming measures, enhanced connections to transit, complete street layouts (with bicycle lanes) and pedestrian friendly walkways. In the pursuit of this LEED ID credit, can we exclude these streets, sidewalks and open spaces from our defined LEED Project Boundary and still achieve this ID point? We believe excluding this area from the LEED Project Boundary is justified because our client does not have complete control over the design and construction in the public right of way, and therefore we can not design the public right of way to comply with all other applicable LEED points. Please confirm that we can achieve this ID point using this approach.
