Are there any standards (ANSI, EIA, etc.) that disallow using LAN rooms as thoroughfare?

the architects on a new building wants to use the LAN room as a thoroughfare to access the main electrical room.

This basically means that the room will be accessible to electricians and maintenance staff that really have no business being in there.

Also, there may be something in the code that says the electrical room needs to be accessible from a public corridor (vs. the LAN room) but I'm not sure of that one.

​

any help?
