I think a lot of people unconsciously see the stairs as a fallback method to the elevator. Stairs in a commercial building are usually minimally decorated. They're "the fire escape."
- chrisbolt 15y agoThe stairs in my office building are alarmed on the ground floor and only open on the 5th and 10th floors (from the stairs side).
- tsotha 15y agoIn a lot of local buildings where I live the doors are locked from the stairwell side on every floor and locked from the outside at ground level. So you can use them to go down during a fire, but you can't use them to go up.
- roundsquare 15y agoYeah. Having been locked in stairwells before (luckily not for too long) I don't usually take the stairs unless they are out in the open.
