This part of the question raises some flags; if "the building's network" means you're sharing existing network with non-audio data, you may have issues.

Of course, the "catapult" solution is really just using a piece of ethernet cable as an audio cable, so if there's data switches in the existing network or if it's a shared network that obviously won't work; has to be a dedicated piece of cable with no interruptions.

While Dante can use standard network switches, you may have issues if you're trying to piggyback onto an existing network with non-audio traffic on it. If you're planning to use AVB devices then you'll need dedicated AVB switches.

If the network is dedicated to audio only then you shouldn't have any problems.
