I have never worked with fiber before. Can anyone recommend a solution that
would get me the 1Gb fiber from the second floor to the third floor in the
most frugal way? Running a fiber optic cable is the same as running a CAT5
but I just cant bend it very tight right?

I second the suggestion of running everything back to a switch and then
running 10 Gig fiber from floor to floor. That would give you *tons* of
bandwidth to share out. :-)

Yeah I was also thinking about just having one fast connection from the
3rd
to the 2nd floor. All the 3rd floor are 100Mb. They have yet to run the
cables from the 3rd to the 2nd. Maybe a 1Gb connection will be able to
sustain about 40 100Mb desktops? Any ideas? Another idea I'm looking into
is
having the contractor do the job right of course. I just have to figure
out
whose fault it is and take into consideration slowing things down on an
already waaaaaay behind project. We need to move into that building ASAP,
the job is already 6 months behind!

New facility. The electricians ran wire to a location on the third floor

they ultimately need to go to the second floor, so they will run cable

the second floor server room up to the location on the third floor.
Might be easier to put some network switches at the third floor
location.
Be warned that if these runs were already near limits due to
distance, putting an extra few sets of terminations in may cause you
to exceed spec limits. Ethernet isn't like power or analog phone
wiring, where you can splice and junction as many times as you want.
