Why use stairs when you can use elevators? At Carnegie Mellon there's a robot that nagivates around one of the buildings by calling and using elevators. Works for any office environment I've been in.

Plus, if the intention is to help the elderly or handicapped the environment might already be wheelchair/ballbot friendly.
