If you have traditional office (flourescent) lighting there, then almost any green plant will thrive. Get some and put one on each desk or every other desk/filing cabinet, to fill the area with color. In my last company, all of the offices were inside offices, with all the outside rooms being used for patients. (It's a hospital, so all windows went to patient's rooms.) The way our building was built, there were a lot of offices/rooms off the inside of the hallway, which meant no windows, and those all went to the various offices needed to run the facility. In the offices where plants were common, you could tell a difference in folks attitudes and health compared to those who had no plants or only 1-2 for a large office.
The biggest difference you'll find is that you'll never know what the weather is like. You could come to work while it's sunshiny, and leave the work in a rainstorm and have no warning until you get to an outside window. No problem really, until severe weather comes up and then it would have been nice for us to have known in advance that it was coming. My husband got to where he'd call me and let me know that a tornado watch was in place, or that a severe snowstorm was heading my way and would hit before I left for home. So what we started doing was listening to the weather channel as background noise. This gave us a "window" to the weather and let us know before we left the office what we could expect when we got to the main lobby.
