We are building a new museum/theatre/cultural center (~30,000 SF) that is co-located with the current existing museum (1,400 SF). The new building will house many additional activities that cannot be contained in the original structure. In lieu of demolishing the existing museum, it will be left as is and continue to function as part of the new facility. It will be accessed from the new facility across an exterior plaza. Using the LEED Calculator we can demonstrate that the entire building will be maintained - 100% of the exterior structure and shell elements and at least 50% of the non-shell elements. However, since we are building new AND we are leaving the existing building, do we meet the intent of MRc1.1 - 1.3 "reuse of large portions of the existing structures during renovation and redevelopment projects" and can we count on gaining these credits?
