An integrated wall, archistructural and desk and panel system comprises a series of modular units that integrate into a variety of configurations with a minimum number of components. The desk and panel system comprises a base wall formed of interconnected modular wall panels having a desk back panel formed of modules of the same height and width and appearance as the base wall panels, so the back of the desk can comprise a section of the base wall. The top of the desk is recessed from the vertical support members and back panel of the desk so that modular upper wall panels can be mounted on the back panel and vertical support members, as well as on the base wall panels, to selectively increase the height of the wall panel system and to create a peripheral enclosure for the desk. A hollow transverse desk support beam and hollow inclined frame members provide wiring access to the desk top. The wall structure comprises a free standing modular wall formed of interconnected modules having removable face panels and concealed interior wire storage trays that permit easy wiring access and panel to panel communication. The archistructure comprises a post and beam construction that provides vertical and horizontal wiring channels and an overhead support surface for suspended panels or doors.

[ The embodiments of the present invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:] [1.] In a free-standing modular wall system wherein a series of wall sections are releasably connected together edge to edge to form a wall, the improvement wherein each wall section comprises:an upright frame;wall cover panels removably mounted on sides of the frame, the panels and frame being formed such that when the panels are mounted on the frame there is an open space extending downwardly and behind the upper edge of the panels, the open space having an open top and being sufficiently wide that communication cables can be fitted downwardly behind the panels;an upper cover mounted on the frame at the top of each wall cover panel and extending outwardly substantially for the full thickness of the wall section and spaced a sufficient distance above the wall cover panel to form a longitudinal slot in the wall section that is wide enough to permit communication cables to be inserted horizontally in the slot through the wall section;a wire support on the frame that supports wires inside the wall section, the wire support being positioned below the upper edge of the panel and extending outwardly to a position adjacent the panel and under the open space behind the upper edge of the panel, such that wires inserted in the slot at the top of a panel drop down into the wire behind the panel;wall connectors releasably connecting adjacent wall sections together to form a flat wall such that the slots for wires extend from panel to panel, the wall connectors permitting wires to be laid into a wall along interconnected panels simply by inserting the wires through the slots in each wall section along the length of the wall and letting the wires drop into the wire supports; andmounting means for removably mounting the panels on the frame, said mounting means attaching the panels to the frame by a releasable wall panel attachment mechanism that does not obstruct the open space above the wire support, such that wires inserted through the slot will drop into the wire support.
