Overkill idea is to use three IP-Cops.

Your current IP-Cop stays but as an Internet interface for two new IP-Cops.
One in the current building taking over from the existing one. The other new
one in the new building.

The current IP-Cops green interface feeds both the local red interface and
the wireless link to the remote IP-Cop red interface.

A sort of a pyramid

ISP----IPCOP 0
              |___________IP-Cop 1
              |~~~~~~~~~~IP-Cop2

You can probably do it by messing with the routing tables and orange
interface cards, but I would just throw hardware at it.
