The NEC has nothing to say on the question, so long as clearances are maintained. I don't know about fire codes.

Fire codes don't care either. Again, as long as clearances are maintained. My favorite buildings were the ones with electrical rooms stacked in the same location on each floor. Second favorite were telephone closets similarly sited. Least favorite were IT closets; the IT weenies would go ape-s**t when you asked for access to the closet.
