Definitions
A Flight of Stairs
Our defintion of a "flight of stairs" is from one floor to the next floor and NOT from one landing to another landing. In the picture below, this would be counted as one flight of stairs.
Counting Flights of Stairs
In the Hardin Hall South Tower, if you started on the 1st floor and walked up to the 8th floor, you would have ascended seven (7) flights of stairs.
