An improved wall stud assembly used to form a prefabricated partition or wall assembled within the interior space of a warehouse, factory or other building structure, the assembly comprising a first elongate stud member and a second elongate stud member, each having a joining part and a panel receiving flange disposed along each longitudinal side of the joining part. Preferably each of the joining parts of the stud members include a plurality of punched holes and extruded holes formed therein and relatively oriented to allow interconnecting fasteners to be applied to the stud member from either side of the stud assembly. In the assembled orientation, the stud members are arranged so that the joining parts thereof are disposed in substantially confronting relation to one another and with the plurality of punched holes on the first stud member generally aligned with the extruded holes of the second stud member, with a pair of prefabricated partitions or wall panels, each being received by corresponding panel receiving flanges of the first and second stud members, and at least one fastener element extending initially through a punched hole on the first stud member and subsequently into one of the extruded holes on the second stud member.
