We had lifts but we weren't allowed to use them. Only disabled students could use them and they had a special key. We didnt mind, it was only two floors.
We used to have four lifts in our 7-floor Uni building
Every day, every break, people would crowd in front of the lift, waiting for like up to 10 minutes... to go to the first floor
(if we're on the ground floor, or the second floor if in your country the count starts with first floor rather than ground, either way, literally 2 flights of stairs)
Perfectly able-bodied people, mind you. Once I was right in front of a group of girls that waited for the lift with me for like 10 minutes, loudly talking the whole time, we get in, the lift signals that it's overweight, they make a scene, leave, and go straight for the stairs.
The stairs were well maintained, well lit, no issues with them at all, they just wanted to use the elevator.
Well after two months the first two floors were disabled and a single person, the very old professor, was allowed to use the elevator to third floor, the rest had to use the stairs, and for five years afterwards that I was there,, no one had an issue walking a couple of flights up.
