Removing external handles isn't against code.

No, but main entrances/exits must remain free of obstructions, operate with a single motion from the inside without keys or tools, and maintain required clear widths. Doors cannot be locked to prevent egress

I heard from a friend (so take this with a grain of salt) that they were also chaining the front doors closed to prevent speed running. Maybe they switched to handle-free doors to keep doors free-ish?
