Power in Drop Ceiling

[Cornelious]

This may not be the correct place to ask this and if it is not I apologize. I am currently the IT Administrator for a very small school and we are needing to place a printer in a shared hallway but there is no power located where we need it. The hallway has a drop ceiling and I know that its against code to run just a normal extension cord above the tiles to supply power but I was wondering if one of the in wall AV style kits could be used to accomplish it or if I had to bite the bullet and hire an electrician to run an outlet just for a printer.

If my explanation of what I am trying to use doesnt make sense, this is a link to something similar to what I would be using. In Wall Kit

Welcome to the forum.

No, do not use an in-wall wire kit.

Yes, hire an electrical contractor.

Yes, we know about them. They're highly questionable even in a home.

No, you don't want to use cords in lieu of permanent wiring in a school.
