Wiring a museum

[Jpflex]

Does 6-12 foot rule for receptacle spacing in dwellings also apply to a building going to be used as a museum? My guess is not but if so or where in NEC can specific rules for wiring such a building be found in section? Thanks

No spacing requirements for most non-residential installations.

Side note- You may covered by "Assembly Occupancies" (518) and it's requirements.

In general, there is no requirement to install receptacles in other than dwelling units. It is a design issue, and not a code issue, in non-dwelling occupancies.

If there are "meeting rooms" that meet the criteria in 210.71 would have address the number of receptacles in those rooms.
