No window ledges for plants!

We're moving offices at work, Four departments all on one floor, mainly open plan. On Friday afternoon my computer and phone went upstairs and I went to have a look at the new space.

I haven't been able to understand why we are not being able to take plants with us.  Not that I have many - a african violet and an amaryllis, both inherited from departing staff. But the last 2 years I have sown my tomato seeds in a container on my office window ledge, then transferring the little seedlings into individual pots. I now see why - the secondary glazing means there are effectively no window ledges.

The conservatory is unheated. If I put them in the upstairs front room, which is south facing, there won't be any heat during the day, and on the evenings when I just have the wood burning stove on, none in the evenings either. I think it will be back to what's available at the DIY stores again.
