Network pro's, look in here!

I'm working on a project for my network design class, the project is to create a LAN for a business that has 4 locations in a town. I have Visio at my disposal for the network diagram but I am having a bit of trouble actually creating the whole shebang.

note, I am going to school for IT yet 80% of my classes have all been theory, not a darn thing on actual network set up and design. Which is this class, the TA is completely useless when it comes to this type of stuff and the prof just had a 2nd heart attack so he's in and out of his office. which is why I have come here.

Now the business is fictitious and its what ever you want it to be, main idea is I am making a network for these 4 locations.

The business description is as follows

Quote:
• Two restoration facilities
o 8 stalls each (10 total per location, 2 for paint booth)
o 2 paint booths (1 per location)
o Engine and transmission assembly clean room
o Machine shop (East location)

• 7,500 square foot showroom
o Parts sales counter
o Restoration consultation service

• 20,000 square foot warehouse [just guesstimating on some square footage]
o Parts for BMW, Mercedes, VW, Audi, and Porsche
o Online orders
o #1 supplier of new restoration parts in the USA


company also has a website which will now need to be hosted in house
So, as far as a network for one of the shop locations I have the following


(haven't made the notations for wireless yet or anything much. The red lines are Ethernet)

I haven't gotten around to getting the specific hardware yet, just trying to figure this all out. I still need to figure out how to get an IP assigned for the company, the costs associated with that as well.

The overall specs for the assignment are
Quote:
This is basically a “departmental network.” The clients (or peers) share applications, data, printers, and modems. There will be one or two servers, hubs, switches and no more than 30 users. It will be based on a single technology – Ethernet. Use no more than 2 type of OSs. Network maintenance consists of adding new users, repairing simple failures, installing new nodes and software. The workgroup net consists of 10 to 20 computers.
So, what do you think? I still have the other location to figure out as well as the centralized file, mail, web servers to figure out too. Budget is set at $50k

feel free to PM me if you feel like helping. thanks guys
