There is a tutorial at http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/55617 which will guide you to make a Linux based system with a wifi card a Wireless Access Point.
However you must consider a few things with this setup, The quantity of users and the range. The quantity of users can be an issue because most "home" wifi access points only have enough memory for 20-50 attached devices. In addition the quanity of users also effects the throughput of each antenna, having 100 users on one antenna would make it horribly slow.The ranges for each wifi type are listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#Protocols, most likely one device will not cover the entire building, you will need multiple WAPs or to use wireless extenders (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833995002) in strategic points.
Based upon my interpretation of the network the best approach would be to setup a mulitple WAPs (wifi routers) about 100 meters apart, this would limit the users per WAP to fit the limitations of the router and reduce the load on each network device antenna. In addition if you plan to service that entire building with a single internet connection you can also run into bottleneck issues, you will need to consider getting multiple ISP connections coming in to increase the throughput per user.
its simple
buy Access point , router , modem , and ISP
make this network..
next configure you ap to wpa/wep/wpa2 or ect,, what you need
set your BSSID, set your password/// finish..
but if its for small user just use ad-hoc
oke..
i hope its usefull
