I am learning subnetting, and I am using Packet Tracer to design a network for a building with five storeys. I have used subnetting, with each floor having its own subnet. As a result, it is not possible for PCs on other floors to access the email and storage servers which are located in the IT-services department. enter image description here

I want all computers to be able to access the email and storage servers, even if they are on a different floor. Would this negatively impact access?

What possible modifications to the network would be needed to achieve this access

You have different networks, but no router. Routers route packets between networks, so different networks require a router to communicate. If your Switch 5 is a layer-3 switch, you could enable routing on it, or you need to replace it with a stand-alone router.
