"How many people want to climb 20 stories... I'd guess a lot"
I'd guess very few -- I work in a 23 story office building (on the 20th floor, coindidentally), and from my desk I can see the stairway door in the hallway.
Other than maintenance staff, I don't remember seeing a single person use that door. We have another office on the 15th floor, and I know of no one that uses the stairs to travel the 5 floors from office to office.
So I think the number of people that want to climb 20 stories by stairs every day is very low.
- WalterBright 8y agoI used to work on the 8th floor of an office building. I took the stairs. Granted, I was the only one, and 23 is 3x that. I'd still probably take the stairs and thereby skip the jogging. I'd also prefer the stairs to a long walk everywhere. I live 270 ft up a hill, and regularly walk up. At 10 feet per story, that's 27 floors. I'm also the only one on the hill who walks up it.
- city41 8y agoI'm guessing this building is laid out such that you never leave the floor you're based on? If I need to go up or down about 3 flights, I prefer stairs over waiting for an elevator.
- jessaustin 8y agoWow there must be some vacancies in that building. When I've worked in similarly-sized buildings with full offices, the wait for the elevator was such that no one would have considered using it to descend 5 floors. Most people would have taken the stairs ascending as well.
