I can recommend the following two books:

Oreilly: Designing Large Scale LANs:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lgscalelans/

CiscoPress: Top-down Network Design, 2nd edition
http://www.ciscopress.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=1587051524&rl=1

They're guides on how to architect corporate LAN, what are the best
practices and such.

I hope this will help,
