** Incoming! v3 Revisions are on the way! **

MTBB:
In response to your feedback, we will be providing the following clarification: Implementation language update to clarify that amenities only need to account for base building occupants.

Please note, the below requirements and compliance documentation will be updated soon to reflect v3 changes. You can find more information on these revisions in a Change Log that will be available on the Help Center on December 10, 2024. ________________________________________________________________________

Provide occupants access to a dedicated fitness facility

Rationale: A dedicated fitness facility with programming and equipment, as well as access to opportunities to engage in aerobic and strength training activities encourages exercise — contributing to reduced risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
