2 waps to connect long building ? How?

I will have one digital internet connection to a hub in computer lab all on switches. I want the rest of the computers to go wireless. The building is too long for one wap, I did tests and 2 waps will cover the building.

I will have one digital internet connection to a hub in computer lab all on switches. I want the rest of the computers to go wireless. The building is too long for one wap, I did tests and 2 waps will cover the building. How can I set it so the waps will rebroadcast eith others traffic so one end of bullding can go over to other end of building? thelab will be wired and must provide a proxy internet conection for all the WIFI computers in the offices.
 
I've used wifi units before, but I have never trie to use 2 and have them connect, no idea how to do it.

OP
I did more research and it turns out its autmoatic, just give each wap the same SSID and channel/encryption. each wap will have no trouble reaching each other, its small building, just a little bit too big.
