Maybe. You'd need to extend the exhaust "hose", which isn't usually
recommended but it might work since you'd be venting up. You'd probably
need at least one more exhaust hose depending on how high the ceiling is
and some way to connect them together. Maybe a length of PVC or something
that fits inside the hoses and duct tape or gaffers tape (better) to hold
those joints together. Then you'd need to fab a panel to connect the hose
end to the dropped ceiling. Does the ceiling use 2 x 4 tiles? If so it
should be easy to cut a piece of 3/8 to replace a tile and mount the flange
to connect the upper end of the exhaust hose. How large an area is there
above the dropped ceiling and is that area limited to the footprint of your
office? That hot exhaust air, and it's pretty hot, has to have space to
spread out and cool down.
Oh, these things aren't real quiet, either. Try to get near one that's
running to see if that might bother you after a few minutes.
