I need to design a fully switched network for a 3-story retail building. Management on second floor (36 workstations), Sales on the 1st floor (20 workstations) and warehouse in the basement (35 workstations). My SOW and Network diagrams must consist of the physical layout, network operating systems, application software, TCP/IP architecture, servers, switches, routers, and all workstations and printers. We also need to make sure to include productivity software, client operating systems, specific software for the various departments such as anti-virus software, and uninterruptible power supplies. We must make sure there are sufficient numbers and types of servers, server racks, cabling, connections, switches and routers with a CSU/DSU. The design should allow for a 10% growth in the number of employees on the network. HELP!!! I don't even know where to begin!!

How would you like us to help you.
I don't know what type of network or topology to use or which hardware and software would be good. I'm unsure about pretty much everything and I don't know how to set this whole thing up. I need 3 floor plans
