Network layout help (switch redundancy)

Greetings,

I am designing a network for my organization's new building and I am hoping to build in redundancy from the access switches to the core and firewall (see diagram).

I'm struggling to understand the best way to create redundant "uplinks" to the core from the access switch stacks, without creating loops. Is LAG/LACP the best practice for this? The switches are mostly Aruba 2930F.

Here's an example: the Floor 2 IDF has a stack of (3) 2930F switches. Two of those switches have an uplink back to the core switch stack (2x 2930F switches). If all switches are operational, would this create a loop?
