ABSTRACT:
An integrated utility distribution and panel system includes a prefabricated floor construction supported on the building floor, having a hollow interior to define at least one utility raceway therein, and a floor surface shaped to support workstations thereon. Utility posts are provided to distribute utilities from the floor construction to the workstations, and each includes a foot mounted on the floor construction for rigid upstanding support. The utility posts include panel support channels, as well as utility channels which communicate with the floor raceways to dispense utilities to the workstations. Non-structural panels are provided, and extend between adjacent utility posts. Each panel has a lightweight construction with connectors positioned along opposite ends thereof which mate with the panel support channels to removably support the panels on the utility posts.
