This is not terribly difficult or expensive. A "wall angle" is nailed on the wall a few inches below the existing ceiling, and "T's" are hung in a grid (either 2'x2' or 2'x4') and acoustical tile is laid into the grid. You have to plan on lowering light fixtures and heating vents. Perhaps your landlord will pay for materials if you put them up?
