A space-dividing wall panel system having a plurality of upright wall panels serially connected one with the other by an intermediate upright support post. The height of each wall panel is adjusted by modular panel extension assemblies which are mounted on base panels supported by lower support posts and include extension posts connected to the lower support posts so as to be arranged coaxial therewith. Spaced apart pairs of the extension posts are connectable to a cross rail at upper ends thereof which defines a downwardly extending generally U-shaped extension frame. A serially adjacent pair of extension frames shares a common extension post which is connected to both of the cross rails thereof, where the base panel and the extension panel assembly disposed thereon respectively define base and beltline raceways for workstation cabling. Additional extension posts can be inserted into the upper ends of extension posts already positioned so as to vertically extend the height of the wall panel. Removable covers are provided so as to overlie the outward faces of the base panel and the extension panels which panel covers are spaced outwardly from the outer faces of the base panel and extension frame so as to define passages therebetween. The passages permit horizontal cabling along the base raceway and the beltline raceway between adjacent wall panels while further permitting vertical routing of cabling between the base and beltline raceways within each panel.

[ The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:] [1.]1. In a wall panel arrangement comprising at least one wall panel having a frame comprising spaced apart vertical rails and at least three horizontal rails extending horizontally therebetween, a plurality of cover tiles being connected to said frame wherein each of said cover tiles extends vertically between a corresponding vertically adjacent pair of said horizontal rails, the improvement comprising a bracket assembly for connecting said cover tiles to said frame, said bracket assembly comprising a plurality of first mounting brackets for securing upper edges of said cover tiles to said frame and a plurality of second mounting brackets for connecting lower edges of said cover tiles to said frame, each of said first mounting brackets including engagement means for removably connecting said first mounting bracket to a corresponding one of said horizontal rails, one said first mounting bracket being disposed on said horizontal rail which is disposed adjacent to said upper edge of each of said cover tiles wherein said first mounting bracket removably connects said cover tile to said frame, each of said second mounting brackets including engagement means for removably connecting said first mounting bracket to said second mounting bracket such that said second mounting bracket is supported on said frame by said first mounting bracket, one said first mounting bracket being disposed adjacent to said lower edge of each of said cover tiles for supporting said lower edge on said frame, each of said upper edges being supported by a corresponding one of said first mounting brackets which is connected to said horizontal rail and each of said lower edges being supported by a corresponding one of said second mounting brackets which is supported on one of said first mounting brackets.
