The scope of this is so large it is nearly impossible to answer in a simple
newsgroup message. You have the physical topology, the logical topology, and
the capabilities of the
individual hardware device just to even begin the conversation.
Now if you are getting about 200 machines then you may need to look at
subnetting just because of that. Broadcasts are the biggest killer of a LAN
and those aren't effect by "where the user usually goes", and the user
doesn't even have to be at their machine doing anything. Broadcasts don't
cross routers, therefore the routers will recover lost bandwith.
You can also design the system using VLANs. It this case where the user is
physically located doesn't even matter. The users are segmented "logically"
by what they do and what they use, and not where they are or what floor they
are on.
