I am currently working on an aquatic center that was built in the 70's and is now being remodeled. The building consists of a concessions area, concessions storage, mens and womens bath rooms and changing rooms, and staff rooms. I am trying to figure if their is any reasion that the existing receptacles have to be GFCI protected. Where can I find any Codes on GFCI protection about the building if any.

Re: bath house
All bathrooms residential or commercial require any receptacles to be gfci protected,however you are not required in commercial bathrooms to have an outlet.If this is a remodel you may or maynot be grandfathered in.Best to call the inspector for his advice.
