1. A pre-manufactured utility wall comprising: an interior-facing surface, the interior-facing surface including an interior finish material and an interior sheathing board behind the interior finish material;an exterior-facing surface, the exterior-facing surface including an exterior cladding and a rigid insulation behind the exterior cladding, wherein the exterior-facing surface is configured to be an exterior surface of a building;a non-weight bearing double stud wall, the non-weight bearing double stud wall including interior studs and exterior studs;an acoustical blanket insulation layer between the interior studs;a thermal batt insulation layer between the exterior studs;an electrical panel and electrical wiring;a wall cavity; andsupply and waste plumbing;wherein the non-weight bearing double stud wall, the wall cavity, and the supply and waste plumbing are located between the interior-facing surface and the exterior-facing surface. 2. The utility wall of claim 1, wherein the exterior facing surface further comprises a weather resistive barrier behind the rigid insulation. 3. The utility wall of claim 2, wherein the exterior facing surface further comprises a fire-rated exterior sheathing board behind the weather resistive barrier. 4. The utility wall of claim 1, further comprising an access panel located on the exterior facing surface. 5. The utility wall of claim 4, wherein the electrical panel is installed on an outer face of an exterior stud of the non-weight bearing double stud wall and is located behind the access panel. 6. The utility wall of claim 1, further comprising electrical wiring for adjacent walls and outlets. 7. The utility wall of claim 1, further comprising fire protection piping. 8. The utility wall of claim 7, further comprising at least one of the supply and waste plumbing, the electrical wiring, and the fire protection piping running in a vertical orientation. 9. The utility wall of claim 8, wherein at least one of the supply and waste plumbing, the electrical wiring, and the fire protection piping vertically extends out of the utility wall and towards a second vertically stacked utility wall. 10. The utility wall of claim 9, further comprising a top plate and a bottom plate, wherein the top plate and the bottom plate each include at least one opening. 11. The utility wall of claim 10, wherein the at least one opening in each of the top plate and the bottom plate permit extension of at least one of the supply and waste plumbing, the electrical wiring, and the fire protection piping vertically extending from an interior of the utility wall towards the second vertically stacked utility wall. 12. The utility wall of claim 10, further comprising a first plurality of stud runners along a perimeter of the top plate and a second plurality of stud runners along a perimeter of the bottom plate, wherein the first and second plurality of stud runners are configured to couple the interior studs and the exterior studs to the top and bottom plates. 13. The utility wall of claim 11, wherein the vertical extension of at least one of the supply and waste plumbing, the electrical wiring, and the fire protection piping from the interior of the utility wall towards the second vertically stacked utility wall is of sufficient length to additionally penetrate and vertically extend through a separate floor system located between the utility wall and the second vertically stacked utility wall. 14. The utility wall of claim 1, further comprising at least one of vent ducting, a water heater, metal stud framing, an integrated acoustical blanket insulation layer, a reinforcement plate, a lifting rod, a framing pocket, and blocking support associated with on-site attachment of interior fixtures. 15. A pre-manufactured stackable utility wall system for vertical connection of utilities between multiple building levels, wherein each utility wall comprises: an interior-facing surface, the interior-facing surface including an interior finish material and an interior sheathing board behind the interior finish material;an exterior-facing surface, the exterior-facing surface including an exterior cladding and a rigid insulation behind the exterior cladding, wherein the exterior-facing surface is configured to be an exterior surface of a building;a double stud wall, the double stud wall including interior studs and exterior studs;an acoustical blanket insulation layer between the interior studs;a thermal batt insulation layer between the exterior studs;a wall cavity;an electrical panel and vertical electrical wiring;vertical supply and waste plumbing;a top plate and a bottom plate, wherein the top plate and the bottom plate each include at least one opening; andwherein the double stud wall, the wall cavity, the vertical supply and waste plumbing are located between the interior-facing surface and the exterior-facing surface, and wherein the vertical supply and waste plumbing extends through the at least one opening in at least one of the top plate and the bottom plate to a vertically adjacent utility wall. 16. The pre-manufactured stackable utility wall system of claim 15, further comprising a floor system that provides passage to the vertical supply and waste plumbing. 17. The pre-manufactured stackable utility wall system of claim 16, wherein each utility wall is securely attached to a floor of the floor system. 18. The pre-manufactured stackable utility wall system of claim 16, wherein the vertical supply and waste plumbing of a first utility wall and a second utility wall connects via piping extensions that penetrate the floor system. 19. The utility wall of claim 15, further comprising a first plurality of stud runners along a perimeter of the top plate and a second plurality of stud runners along a perimeter of the bottom plate, wherein the first and second plurality of stud runners are configured to couple the interior studs and the exterior studs to the top and bottom plates.
