Lobby Lighting Requirements

Question: 
Is there a legal minimum requirement for footcandles in the bank lobby?
Answer: 

Answer by Jim Bedsole: Not under any federal regulation that I'm aware of.

Answer: 

Answer by Andy Zavoina: Security requirements call for the door area of the vault to be illuminated during hours of darkness when it is visible from the outside. State laws often require certain lighting around an ATM. If you have this in a foyer you may have lighting requirements, but under state requirements, not federal.
