A work space management system for dividing a space 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 selectively relocatable modular tiles removably hanging on the frames. Some of the wire management elements are secured to the bottom or baseline of the frames and some of the wire management elements are removably secured to a waistline or midportion of at least some of the frames. The frames can extend to a waist height, a seated height, to a standing or full floor to ceiling height in a modular stepped fashion. Decorative and functional modular tiles are sized to fit on the frames to substantially cover the frames, and are independently and removably mounted thereto. The tiles are of equal height and of variable modular width to cover the frames. Further, the tiles are easily mounted to and removed from the frames so that the tiles are relocatable and interchangeable with one another within the same frame and among the different frames for ease of customizing work stations within the system. The work space management system provides an architectural wall partition system with flexibility for interchangeable tile panels for different decorative effects and various functional features. The tiles can be painted, fabric, or vinyl covered, or can comprise acoustical tiles, window tiles, work-in-process rail tiles, lighting tiles, tackable tiles, marker tiles, data display tiles, display tiles, shelf tiles, open pass-through tiles, wire management tiles, mail tiles, storage tiles, heater tiles, and cooling and air circulation tiles.

A work space management system for dividing a space into separate work areas comprising: a rigid structural framework formed of rigid structural rectangular frames rigidly joined together at the edges thereof to form at least one work area; each of said frames having outer faces on opposite sides thereof and receiving means on said opposite sides of said frames, said tile-receiving means comprising openings in the face of said frames; a plurality of interchangeable tiles having an attaching means cooperating with said receiving means on said frames for removably mounting said tiles to said frames for ease of placement on and removal from said frames, said attaching means on said tiles comprising projections which fit within said openings; said tiles being mounted to the outer faces of both sides of said frames in juxtaposed parallel relationship; said tiles having a width substantially equal to the width of the frames to which said tiles are mounted and have a height such that at least two of said tiles are mounted in vertical juxtaposition on each of said frames; some of said tiles having a decorative surface and other of said tiles having a structure to serve a function other than decorative in the work area defined by said framework and tiles; whereby said tiles, whether decorative or functional, can be selectively interchanged easily and quickly with tiles mounted within the same frame or with tiles mounted on different frames within the system.
