I am currently working on a remodel for a hotel complex in Colorado. The project contains 3 separate buildings that are connected with a service tunnel. The main building (on the right) is controlled by seismic (seismic design category B), however, the other 2 buildings (the duplex and carriage house remodel) would be controlled by wind (165 mph LRFD). Since the buildings are connected, would seismic detailing need to be completed for the other wind-controlled buildings?
