metal track installation

hey guys,
I have a project that i could use some advice.
There is a big office and a lady wants to put a wall to get two separate rooms.
She told me to use metal studs cause its the code for her type of building.

My question is how do I attach ceiling track for my dividing wall if her ceiling is suspended (standard 24x24 panels with metal tracks). Any ideas? Thx in advance.

Cool

If the thought of trusting someone else to install your $20,000 solar panels makes you a bit queasy, then professional installation may not be for you. Many solar panel systems you buy come with self-installation instructions, and some even come with self-installation kits.

But to answer your question, depending on how big this big office is and your ceiling height, eliminator track
