A work space management system for dividing a room into separate work areas comprising a wall system having a rigid framework formed of rigid rectangular frames rigidly joined together at the edges thereof to form at least one work area, wire management elements secured to the frames for communication and power wiring and a plurality of modular panels removably hanging on the frames. At least some of the wire management elements are secured to the bottom or baseline of the frames and at least some of the wire management elements are removably secured to a waistline or midportion of at least some of the frames. In some cases, the frames only extend to a waist height and in other cases, the frames extend to a full panel height. The panels are sized to fit between the waistline wire management elements and the baseline wire management elements to substantially cover the frames therebetween. The work management system provides an architectural wall system with flexibility for interchangeable panels for different decorative effects as well as functional features. The panels can be fabric or vinyl covered, or can comprise acoustical panels, window panels, work-in-process panel rails or lighting panels.

A work space management system for dividing a room into separate work areas comprising: a rigid framework formed of rigid rectangular frames rigidly joined together at the edges thereof to form at least one work area; baseline wire management means for enclosing communication and/or power wiring secured to a base of at least some of said frames, said baseline wire management means including a baseline cover forming an outer face of said baseline wire management means and an electrical receptacle accessible by means of said baseline cover to provide an electrical outlet for said work space; waistline wire management means for enclosing communication and/or power wiring, said waistline wire management means including a cover forming an outer face of said waistline wire management means and an electrical receptacle accessible by means of said waistline cover to provide an electrical outlet for said work space; means for removably mounting said waistline wire management means to at least some of said frames at a working height well above the base thereof, said removable mounting means permitting relative ease of mounting and demounting said waistline wire management means, respectively, to and from said frames at the point of installation; electrical and/or communication wiring extending between at lease some of said baseline wire management means and said waistline wire management means; a plurality of lower panels sized to fit between said waistline wire management means cover and said baseline wire management means cover to substantially cover said frames therebetween; and means for removably securing said lower panels to said frames between said waistline and said baseline wire management means covers and in substantially coplanar relationship therewith.
