Question:
Hello CQD, our building management seems to think it is okay to use the electrical rooms in the buildings as storage closets for paper goods and other janitorial materials. Does the NEC address this? We would benefit from your response. Thanks in advance.

Answer:
Hey TK, the NEC does prohibit these spaces from being used for storage of any kind. Section 110.26(B) specifically states that the working space required by this section shall not be used for storage. This rule applies to the working space, not the entire room, but it is a good practice to not use electric rooms for storage.
