Storing a bike under stairwell at a college campus?

Hi,
I realize that at most college campuses, such as my own, it is restricted by local and national fire codes to store bicycles underneath stairwells as it is a potential obstruction. I'm wondering whether these laws would still apply if the University were to install bolted down bike storage pods so that in case of a fire, the bicycle has no way of obstructing the exit path of residents. I plan to submit this proposal to the school soon but would like to make sure the fire laws would permit it, from my searches I could not find anything specific to this issue. Does anyone know if the fire code would allow such a thing?
Thanks
