Is there a lot of noise happening in your office?
My guess would be that this white board stuff all over might create a very hard accoustic environment, raising the noise/echo level quite a bit. That may not matter if you have a lot of furniture and plants standing around, but it's worth a thought anyway.

Since the surface of white board is somewhat glossy, you'll also have to be careful about where to place the lights, as you might end up with glare sources in unexpected places. That's not something you'll notice conciously right away, but it can have a strongly tiring effect on the eyes. Typical lighting installations in US offices are often a disaster under that aspect even without glossy walls.
