ABSTRACT:
A partition construction for subdividing a building space includes a partition frame having an open interior and defining a front side, a first cover covering a section of the partition frame with apertures for providing utility access, and a second cover slidably supported on the partition frame proximate the first cover. The second cover is slidable parallel the front side between a closed position covering the open interior and an open position providing access to utilities in the open interior. The second cover is semi-flexible so that it can be simultaneously slid along the partition frame and flexed away from the partition frame to a disengaged/removed position, thus allowing it to be removed even when the second cover is "trapped" on the partition frame by a furniture component attached to or positioned in front of the partition frame. A plurality of secondary covers are configured to snap attach to the first cover over the apertures, the secondary covers including a duplex receiving secondary cover, a telecommunication jack secondary cover, a flexible wire-routing secondary cover, and an aesthetic aperture-covering secondary cover.
