A partition panel includes a rigid panel frame having a lower portion configured to support the partition panel freestanding on a floor surface. The rigid panel frame defines a horizontal upper edge and an intermediate height between the upper edge and the lower portion. A utility trough extends horizontally adjacent the horizontal upper edge, and the utility trough defines a utilities passageway having an upwardly facing elongated opening extending along substantially the entire length of the utility trough and providing access to the utilities passageway. A horizontally repositionable vertically extending utility support member is adapted to support utility lines extending from the utilities passageway of the utility trough to the intermediate height. The utility support member is supported by the panel frame at a selected one of a plurality of horizontal positions, such that the utility support member can be readily positioned at a desired horizontal location with utility lines extending through the elongated opening adjacent an upper end of the utility support member, along the utility support member down to the intermediate height.
