A lot depends on what kind of construction your building is -- brick, concrete and concrete block is entirely different from drywall and open spaces. The other aspect is your definition of full coverage. If you want the location functionality to work, you need much higher density and different placement of APs than just for basic data access. Also, support for VoIP requires higher density and disabling lower data rates. Any spaces with high user populations also may need a lot more APs than just range would indicate. In our environment the 2000 ft^2 is a bit optimistic.
