Can you please start again, your request doesn't make any sense, especially with no background.

CAT 6e is the current standard I believe....does the new building have structured wiring in place? If not then you need to get some installed.

As for layout - depends on shape of building...you'll need x patch cabinets with copper or fibre between them. I'd say at least 3 or 4 points per person - this allows for PC's , VoIP phones, LAN devices (printers etc) to be connected.

Don't skimp on points...

For distances of under 100 metres: Cat5e or Cat6
For distances greater than 100 metres: you probably want to be looking at optical fibre.

...which is why you have mutiple cabinets and run the CAT 6E cables from there. You then have fibre between the cabs which starts creating the infrastructure backbone.
