We're installing a new ceiling in the basement. We're converting it from a drop tile ceiling to dry wall.

There is however this obnoxiously large vent we have to work around which pours a tiny bit of heat into the basement. It's hard to even tell heat is coming out there is so little.

Is there any way we could cap this off so we can put dry wall up and cover the vent up instead of cutting out a piece to fit around this ugly piece of trash?
