Your inter-building distance exceeds ethernet over copper limits, you 
will need a fiber link.

Easy to implement, with a Polycom phone you configure an auto-answer 
extension. On a 501, you have three line appearances so you can 
configure line app. two to be auto-answer and still use line app. one as 
normal phone, hang it on the wall for anyone needs to make a call. If 
you need more volume, take the headset out and amplify it.
There is a lot of information on auto-answer configuration, it's a 
little tricky but solid once you get it.
