Inquiry

A General Sustainable Sites Question: The Southeast Regional Treatment Center is a psychiatric hospital comprised of 5 buildings located on 28.4 acres. 3 buildings are fully renovated and 2 are all new construction - not all are connected, but all share a common, beaux-arts campus setting. The project scope identifies the campus as both a legal and project boundary. We are submitting each building individually for certification (at the advice of your committee on Multiple Buildings). Our question is this: since we have no defined or real boundary for the individual buildings, and we have designed the entire landscape/campus as a system in terms of water management, circulation, recreation, hardscape, plantings, lighting, irrigation, etc., may we assume that this site information can be "duplicated" for each building that we submit?
