A demountable floor-to-ceiling wall for subdividing a building work space comprises a first core panel including two parallel spaced-apart and substantially identical side faces in mutual horizontal registry. Each core panel has a panel periphery with a top edge, a bottom edge, and at least two side edges and an outwardly facing channel therein. A first core panel is vertically oriented and positioned to be supported by the building floor. A second core panel of substantially identical construction as the first core panel is vertically stacked upon and substantially co-planar with the first core panel. The first and second core panels extend from the floor toward the ceiling and are secured in a generally upright vertical orientation. A panel connector bar is interposed between the first and second core panels. A first portion of the panel connector bar is received by and engaged within the channel at a top portion of the first core panel, and a second portion of the panel connector bar is received by and engaged within the channel at a bottom portion of the second core panel. The panel connector bar maintaining the core panels in a substantially co-planar relationship in a fastenerless fashion.
