1. A modular architectural wall comprising: a modular frame structure including a plurality of columns and cross-members secured together by removable fasteners, the modular frame structure including a first side positioned to serve as a wall of a first room and a second side positioned to serve as a wall of a second room,a first plurality of panels secured to the first side of the modular frame structure, the first plurality of panels each having a surface facing the first room, the first plurality of panels removably secured to the first side of the modular frame structure such that the first plurality of panels is reconfigurable,a second plurality of panels secured to the second side of the modular frame structure, the second plurality of panels each having a surface facing the second room, the second plurality of panels removably secured to the second side of the modular frame structure such that the second plurality of panels is reconfigurable independently of the first plurality of panels,a plurality of service outlets mounted on the modular frame structure, wherein at least one panel of the first and second plurality of panels comprises a plurality of openings, wherein the plurality of service outlets are positioned behind the at least one panel, wherein each service outlet is aligned with an opening of the plurality of openings such that a portion of each service outlet is exposed through the opening, anda service delivery assembly positioned in a space, the space being defined between the first and second pluralities of panels, the service delivery assembly comprising at least one unused port; andwherein the wall is expandable by removing the at least one of the first or second pluralities of panels having the plurality of openings and replacing the at least one removed panel with a panel having at least one additional opening configured to receive at least one additional service outlet, wherein the at least one additional service outlet is in communication with the at least one unused port of the service delivery assembly. 2. The wall of claim 1, wherein the wall further comprises a molding removably secured to some of the first or second pluralities of panels, the molding having a head, a shank coupled to the head and extending perpendicular to the head, and a plurality of barbs extending outwardly from opposite sides of the shank, the plurality of barbs having ends separated by a first width, the molding positioned in a gap between adjacent panels such engagement with the adjacent panels causes the plurality of barbs to deflect inwardly toward the shank so that the ends of the plurality of barbs are separated by a second width, and the second width is less than the first width. 3. The wall of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first or second pluralities of panels is an outlet enclosure including a number of mount holes formed in the surface facing the first room and a number of through-holes formed in an upper surface perpendicular to the surface facing the first room, the mount holes arranged to mount electric outlets and data receptacles to the outlet enclosure. 4. The wall of claim 3, wherein the plurality of columns include evenly spaced slotted through-holes and the outlet enclosure includes a number of downwardly extending tabs which are spaced apart by an interval that is equal to the interval between the slotted through-holes and configured to extend through the slotted through-holes. 5. The wall of claim 4, wherein the columns include evenly spaced square-shaped through holes positioned between the slotted through-holes and fasteners extend through one of the first or second pluralities of panels and the square-shaped through-holes to removably fasten the panel to the modular frame structure. 6. The wall of claim 3, wherein the columns and cross-members are formed to include evenly spaced and fixed through-holes and a flexible conduit passes through at least one of the through-holes. 7. The wall of claim 6, wherein at least one of the first or second plurality of panels is configured to cover the outlet enclosure. 8. The wall of claim 1, wherein the wall further comprises a junction box supported by the modular frame structure and an electrical cable communicating electrical power from the junction box to at least one electrical power outlet. 9. The wall of claim 8, wherein the electrical cable passes through at least one through-hole formed in a column. 10. The wall of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first or second pluralities of panels includes a sheet and a face removably coupled to the sheet, the face formed to include a number of electrical outlet and data receptacle sized openings. 11. The wall of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first or second pluralities of panels is movable relative to the modular frame structure to expose a storage space located within the modular frame structure. 12. The wall of claim 11, wherein at least one of the first or second pluralities of panels pivots relative to the modular frame structure. 13. The wall of claim 11, wherein at least one of the first or second pluralities of panels slides relative to the modular frame structure. 14. The wall of claim 1, wherein the service outlet is a data receptacle in communication with a centralized information management system. 15. The wall of claim 1, wherein the wall is configured to be expanded by adding additional members to the modular frame structure. 16. The wall of claim 1, wherein the modular frame structure is positioned outside the boundaries of the wall. 17. A modular architectural room wall for a room in a healthcare facility having a wall, the wall comprising: a modular frame structure including a plurality of columns and cross-members secured together by removable fasteners, the modular frame structure including a first side positioned to serve as a wall of a first room and a second side positioned to serve as a wall of a second room,a first plurality of panels secured to the first side of the modular frame structure, the first plurality of panels each having a surface facing the first room, the first plurality of panels removably secured to the first side of the modular frame structure such that the first plurality of panels is reconfigurable,a second plurality of panels secured to the second side of the modular frame structure, the second plurality of panels each having a surface facing the second room, the second plurality of panels removably secured to the second side of the modular frame structure such that the second plurality of panels is reconfigurable independently of the first plurality of panels,a service outlet mounted on at least one of the first or second pluralities of panels, anda gas manifold supported within the modular frame structure and a flexible conduit communicating gas from the gas manifold to the service outlet, the gas manifold including a number of unused ports configured to receive additional flexible conduits, wherein the wall is configured to be expanded by removing at least one of the first or second pluralities of panels and replacing the removed one of the first or second pluralities of panels with a panel having additional service outlets and additional flexible conduits communicating gas from the unused ports of the gas manifold to the additional service outlets. 18. The wall of claim 17, wherein at least one of the first or second pluralities of panels is coupled to the modular frame structure to move relative to the frame structure to expose a storage space located in the modular frame structure. 19. The wall of claim 17, wherein each of the first and second pluralities of panels includes a support bracket that couples each panel to at least one of the plurality of columns to cause the panel to be supported on the at least one of the plurality of columns before the removable fastener secures the panel to the modular frame structure. 20. The wall of claim 19, wherein the support bracket includes a main portion and a tab coupled to the main portion to extend generally perpendicularly away from the main portion and into a slotted hole formed in at least one of the plurality of columns.
