An upright partition for use in a modular office furniture system, in which the partition has an internal frame and a plurality of outer covers covering the sides of the partition and defining an interior cavity within the partition inwardly of the outer covers. The outer covers are disposed substantially in the same vertical plane. Two adjacent of the outer covers are spaced from each in the plane so as to form an opening therebetween. A bridging cover is coupled to the frame to cover the opening between the two adjacent spaced outer covers when viewed horizontally and laterally from one lateral side of the partition. The bridging cover has an outer surface which is located laterally inwardly from inner surfaces of at least one of the adjacent outer covers such that a passageway is defined between the inner surface of one of the outer covers and the outer surface of the bridging cover through which passageway conduit can pass outwardly through the opening.

[ I claim:] [1.] An upright partition comprising an internal frame and a plurality of outer covers covering lateral sides of the partition,an inner cavity defined within the partition inwardly of the outer covers for passage of conduit,the outer covers having outer surfaces and inner surfaces,the outer covers coupled to the frame with their inner surfaces directed inwardly towards the frame, with their outer surfaces directly outwardly away from the frame and with the outer surfaces of outer covers on one lateral side of the partition disposed in substantially the same vertical plane,the outer covers on one of the lateral sides of the partition including two adjacent of the outer covers which are spaced from each other in the plane so as to form a vertically extending opening therebetween,a bridging cover coupled to the frame covering the opening when viewed horizontally and laterally from the one lateral side,the bridging cover having an outer surface and a recessed first portion,the outer surface of the bridging cover over at least the first portion located laterally inwardly from the inner surface of at least a first of the two adjacent outer covers such that a passageway is defined between the inner surface of the first adjacent outer cover and the outer surface of the bridging cover the passageway permitting passage of conduit between the bridging cover and the first adjacent outer cover from the interior cavity inward of the first adjacent outer cover, outwardly to the opening.
