I can see how it would make feel women slightly safer as it would reduce the risk of touching. But it seems to me romantic feelings could still develop easily.

On the stairwell, you could ask the other person if they want to go for a coffee or meet after work. Actually the glass walls these days seem to be more necessary for the men who have to insure against accusations of sexual harassment. I've heard for example that professors at universities always leave their door open or try to have other people present when they meet students, to avoid any such accusations. Of course that might help a little, if men need not be afraid of sexual harassment claims there is less need to avoid women in a professional context.
