Personally, I would place routers in each building, unless you are just taking <10 devices per structure. Try to think more in terms of what data will go where; if 60-70% of the traffic is local, local routers make sense.
Is there an functional segregation between buildings or properties?
The new buildings and the equipment will have same function. I wil be adding a lot of video cameras. (first shipment should show up today). There will probably be 2 VLANs needed that connect equipment together in the old and new barn on isolated networks that do not need access to anything else. All the cameras on the entire site need to see the NVR, all the workstations and devices on the APs should be able to access workstations (RDP).
Currently my thought is to put a router in the new barn office and use a VLAN to connect through the other smart switches to the nanobeams for internet/VPN access. Keep all the traffic near the office area unless it needs to head out to the internet.
