Is it possible to build an in-game structure made up of multiple levels using the Valve Hammer editor?

Of course. There are two ways you could do it:

1. Make the entire building (with multiple levels) as one piece and import the entire thing into your level.

2. Make each floor a seperate block and stick them toogether like building blocks.

Make sure you have portals and it's all leak-free.

Thanks. Would it be better to stack the levels on top of each other in Hammer, or in the Torque mission editor? Or is it not a problem which you use?

It's really just your personal preference. Personally, I prefer to use the latter method (piece together in Torque) for one reason: it allows me to reuse pieces easily yet not have the same building everywhere.
