+1 for a Barracuda.

Not free by any stretch, but work very well.

The logical place for this is on the firewall, though there are alternatives.

So, what kind of firewall do they have? Can it send access logs to a syslog 
server, or does it have native reporting, perhaps available as an addon?

If that's not feasible for some reason, you can check out various proxies, 
commercial or otherwise. We used a Barracuda for a while, and put it in line 
with the firewall as a transparent proxy. It's also possible to set it up out 
of line, and configure the browsers to talk to it, while allowing only the 
proxy to pass through the firewall.
Before that, I used a FreeBSD box with a squid proxy on it, and used the logs 
from squid for any investigations. It's been a long time since we did that, but 
I'm sure there some decent reporting packages out there.
