A modular electrical assembly for use in a prefabricated wall panel of an office partition system includes a housing disposed within the hollow interior of the prefabricated wall panel. At least one electrical receptacle is operatively disposed within the housing. A connector electrically connects to an electrical distribution box disposed within the prefabricated wall panel to thereby electrically connect the connector to a source of electrical current. A switch electrically interconnects the electrical receptacle and the connector the switch selectively controlling the flow of electrical current between the electrical receptacle and the connector. The switch is disposed within a cut-out in the prefabricated wall panel, thereby exposing the switch from within the hollow interior of the wall panel to an exterior thereof.

1. A prefabricated wall panel assembly for use in office partitioning systems, comprising:a frame; a pair of planar wall panels attached to and spaced apart by said frame, at least one of said planar wall panels including a cut out formed therein; a hollow interior defined by an inside surface of each said planar wall panel and said frame; an electrical distribution box disposed within said hollow interior and configured for being electrically connected to an electrical distribution system, said electrical distribution box including at least one connector receptacle, each connector receptacle positioned within and facing into said hollow interior; and a modular electrical assembly disposed within said hollow interior, said modular electrical assembly comprising: a housing; at least one first electrical receptacle operatively disposed within said housing and facing into said hollow interior; a connector configured for connecting to said connector receptacle of said electrical distribution box to thereby electrically connect said connector to the electrical distribution system; and a switch electrically interconnected between said at least one first electrical receptacle and said connector, said switch selectively controlling a flow of electrical current between said at least one first electrical receptacle and said connector, said switch being disposed at least partially within said cut out in said planar wall panel, thereby exposing at least a portion of said switch from within said hollow interior to an exterior of said wall panel assembly. 2.The prefabricated wall panel assembly of claim 1, wherein said modular electrical assembly further comprises at least one second electrical receptacle electrically connected directly to said connector, thereby electrically connecting said at least one second electrical receptacle to the electrical distribution system.
