Your going to need business grade system, as consumer not up to it, so talk to a wireless system supplier.

Basic stuff, PC to handle authentication or integrate into AD, connected to a couple of switches, connected to access points.

AP's on each floor should be spread across switches to ensure if one goes done, it doesn't kill wireless connectivity.

Setup AP's to connect no faster then "G" speeds to stop one user hogging all the wireless bandwidth and QOS the system.

As Das_stig pointed out you are going to need professional help on this. You are not even asking correct questions yet. This is not to talk down about you but people make their whole career doing just wireless design and install so it take a lot of study to be able to even understand the basics.

If you have 450 users you are going to need more like 50 wireless units not 3.

You might get a company to come out and give you a bid on your issue for free. Most want a small fee since a good solid design requires them to actually spend time measuring the signal level in a space.

I agree with them I setup a wireless network for 100 users at a school and I had to install at least 10 AP, and I went with Cisco. For 450+ I agree with bill001g you will need more like 50 and you will need commercial grade equipment. You will also have to decide are you going to use POE to power the APs or do you have plugs for 50 APs. If you go POE now you need to buy switches that can do POE or buy 50 POE injectors.

I would see about getting a quote from professionals, or at least help.
