NEC article: requirements for outlet placement in School hallways.

[RMELECT]

I have a customer (School Faciility) that is installing new wall mount lockers in an existing School hallway. There are 2 outlets (one in each wing) and they want them removed all together which is not a problem but my gut says it's the wrong thing to do but can't find the correct artical for back up.

In general there are no receptacles required by the NEC in other than dwelling units.

You can remove them. As Don stated there are only a limited number required receptacles outside of a dwelling. Within 25' of AC equipment would be one place where they are required but not in a school hallway.

But receptacle outlets can be useful for maintenance. It’s a design choice, and the NEC is not a design manual

Thanks for the Help. Common sense isn't in the code book so I guess we'll remove them.
