The interior wall includes lower horizontal support members rigidly secured to the floor and upper horizontal support members flexibly associated with the frame. A plurality of spaced apart vertical support members are secured therebetween. Wall panels preferably gypsum panels are secured to the vertical support members, and preferably are provided with reinforcement across an outer surface of same and joints therebetween. Exemplary of preferred reinforcing mediums are fiberglass fabric adhesively secured across the panels and joints, or a flexible polymeric film produced in situ across the panels and the joints. Flexible association of the wall with an upper portion of the frame may be achieved by use of individual flexible brackets or a plurality of flexible brackets to which horizontal connectors are secured. A ceiling grid, per se, may be secured to flexible brackets around the periphery of same with the upper wall support members secured to the ceiling grid. A module including interior walls according to the present invention may be transported for hundreds of miles without structure damage to the walls or panels secured thereto.
