Are you looking to just bridge people wireless -> wired connections or do you want something akin to a home router setup that handles DHCP and firewalling?
Either way, having too many devices connected to the same (single) radio can make it hard for any traffic to get through. A brief overview on airtime is here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wi-fi-performance,2985-1... -- in your situation, a minimum of two access points would be a good idea.
If you're looking for just access points, then I'd recommend a 3-pack of Ubiquiti UAP-Pros, spaced out relatively evenly around your work environment: http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-Sys... -- configuring them requires free server software, but once they're up and running, the server software can be shut down and the devices can run independently.
I recommend these as a Ubiquiti enterprise certified person with a current deployment of 30 UAP-ACs, on my way up to about 80 devices in total. I have one auditorium room with about 200 seats that, so far, 3 access points seem to cover without trouble.
