NOW I UNDERSTAND !!!!
Well now .... here where your priorities come in .... is "ease of installation" or "aesthetics" important to you ....
You could drill a hole in the I-beam, but that is going to take a lot of muscle and probably a few drill bits with LOTS of cutting oil. OR if the side wall is finished you could come down into the wood studded wall and then back up into the ceiling. To make the repair to the ceiling and walls as painless as possible I would cut as little drywall as possible and cut it from stud to stud + ¾" on both sides, that way you have some "rock" to screw back into the studs then all you need is joint compound and paint and "WAHLA" a job well done with no annoying wires or cables showing
