RE: LAN wired advice
The best option is likely to be fibre, and simple LAN repeaters. This will effectively extend the LAN at normal bandwidth. If you want to have separate, but interconnected LAN's, then you'll need to used bridges or routers.
Any help ???
RE: LAN wired advice
If you do not require managed switches, you can find these devices relatively cheap by searching the www. Managed switches are quite cost effective as well.
As far as sepparate and interconnected LANs, this can also be accomplished with switches that support VLANs and port trunking. If you have no experience with routers, and want to accomplish this task yourself, I would go the switch route if you are not trying to interface with the outside world.
RE: LAN wired advice
Linking different buildings implies grounding problems, I wouldn't use copper wiring. As previous answers recomend, use fiber optic adapters to link the buildings, and rather use switches.
If the distance is beyond the capacity of the adapters & fiber available, or digging trenches not an option; think in Wireless LAN devices. There is a good variety of choices, but going outdoor wireless is something that require some engineering. Have a look at www.wavewireless.com if you decide go wireless.

If you go this route, make sure you enact all security precations available with the system, as well as with your network. DO NOT use any factory default settings on wireless LAN devices. This could be a potential hole in your network, allowing easy access to thoes who you may not want snooping around your computers.

Robertjo's warning is real. That's why I suggested that link. They don't use WEP or DES encryption. They use AES, which is the new NSA standard in US for wireless, con confidential communications.
