A building system is disclosed for constructing non-load-bearing walls in a building having preexisting ceiling and floor structures, using substantially dimensionally identical, lightweight wall panels. The wall panels are rectangular and each has a pair of facing sheets adhesively bonded to a plurality of elongate spacers. The facing sheets of each wall panel overlie each other and have aligned side and end surfaces which define sides and ends of the wall panel. Outer ones of the spacers are inset from the sides of their wall panel, whereby the back surfaces of the facing sheets and the outer spacers cooperate to define channels along the sides of the panels. Preformed elongate ceiling and floor runners are secured to the ceiling and floor structures, and the wall panels are positioned, one at a time, in mating engagement with the floor and ceiling runners to form continuous walls. Preformed elongate juncture members frictionally engage side portions of adjacent wall panels and extend between the ceiling and floor runners. The runners and juncture members are arranged so that they perimetrically engage the sides and ends of the wall panels to rigidify the wall panels and to interconnect adjacent wall panels. A plurality of specially formed junction members interconnect the wall panels to form corners, to cap exposed ends of wall panels, and to frame door and window openings formed through and between wall panels. A specially configured juncture member assembly is provided for use where it is required to give a wall the capability to releasably mount shelves and cabinets. The building system utilizes frictionally interfitting components wherever possible to eliminate the need for driven fasteners, whereby damage to wall panels is minimized and panel reusability is maximized.

A system for forming a wall of a building which has preexisting floor and ceiling structures, the system comprising: (a) a plurality of substantially dimensionally identical, substantially rectangular, wall panels each including a pair of facing sheets secured to and held in spaced relationship by spacer means, the facing sheets each having front and back surfaces interconnected by top and bottom end surfaces and by first and second opposed side surfaces, the facing sheets of each panel extending in overlying relationship with their associated side and end surfaces being aligned and cooperating to define top and bottom ends and first and second sides of their wall panel, the spacer means of each wall panel extending between the back surfaces of the associated facing sheets at positions spaced inwardly from the aligned side surfaces of the facing sheets whereby first and second sidewardly facing channels are provided along the first and second sides of each wall panel, such wall panels being installable side-by-side to form a substantially continuous wall; (b) preformed ceiling and floor runner structures, wherein: (i) the ceiling runner structure being configured to be secured to the ceiling structure, being configured to receive the top end region of at least one of the wall panels, and having a pair of depending portions configured to extend from the ceiling structure to positions overlying top portions of the front surfaces of both facing sheets on such wall panel; (ii) the floor runner structure being configured to be secured to the floor structure, being configured to receive the bottom end of at least one of the wall panels, having supporting formations adapted to support the bottom end of such wall panel at a position above the floor structure, and having a pair of upwardly extending portions adapted to extend from the floor to positions overlying bottom portions of the front surfaces of both facing sheets on such wall panel; (c) a plurality of juncture members, each being configured to extend between the installed ceiling and floor runner structures and each being configured to be received in one of the side channels of one of the wall panels, with opposed surfaces of the juncture member frictionally engaging the back surfaces of the facing sheets of such wall panel, each further being configured to be positioned within communicating side channels of two abutting wall panels bridging the plane of juncture between the abutting wall panels and with opposed surfaces of the juncture member frictionally engaging the back surfaces of the facing sheets of both abutting wall panels. (d) the spacer means comprising a plurality of elongate spacer members extending between the facing sheets of their associated panel and cooperating to support such facing sheets in spaced, rigidly interconnected, overlying relationship, the spacer members extending parallel to the sides of the panels; (e) the spacer members within each panel including a pair of outer spacers which are inset from the two sides of the panel and which cooperate with back surfaces of the facing sheets to define first and second side channels between the facing sheets, and at least one inner spacer located between the outer spacers; (f) the at least one inner spacer being located at different distances from the two sides of its panel such that, if less than a full panel width is needed to complete a wall being built, and if the required panel width as measured from one of the panel\s sides causes a proposed line-of-cut to intersect such at least one inner spacer, then such line-of-cut can be repositioned by measuring the required panel width from the opposite panel side, and such repositioned line-of-cut will no longer intersect such at least one inner spacer.
