go for a router based ethernet, with cat5 cables.

no other way but internal wiring ( or external ) using cat5 like club_panay said .

the only recomended distance of a cat5 cable is 100 meters but cat 5 works without any problems at 150 meters ,anything more than that , you have to put in a hub or a switch .

come on guys its a big project dont cut cost go in for an OFC (monomode ) based solution (ie layer three switches with OFC connectivity) with a two wan two lan sisco router.

[indro]

IF monet was not the problem , then i would go for the 7500 series internet router and all switches layer 3 and a 802.1g cisco wireless router ,with high performance AP's thought the area , take a 512 kbps RAW connection and 1.544 mbbs(T1) burst
