Level 0 (GF) is the level of exit discharge for high rise Bldg. According to IBC, Fire elevators lobbies shall not be required at the street floor or level of exit discharge. However, in GF the fire elevators open directly in the exit corridor (exit passageway), where shafts of elevators are not allowed. Is the present status Code compliant?
 
Elevators cannot open into an exit passageway.

The second option seems to work since I don’t know exactly what the original option looked like.
