Modular interior partition for a structural frame building

An interior partition system for installation between a lower deck structure and an upper deck structure of a structural frame building, the structural frame building having a ceiling line that defines a ceiling height of occupiable space within the structural frame building, the interior partition system comprising:

• a first modular partition assembly for connection to the lower deck structure along a lower edge of the first modular partition assembly;
• a second modular partition assembly for connection to the upper deck structure along an upper edge of the second modular partition assembly;
• and
• a receptor structure configured to connect an upper edge of the first modular partition assembly to a lower edge of the second modular partition assembly;
• wherein the first modular partition assembly has a vertical dimension that exceeds the ceiling height such that the upper edge of the first modular partition assembly, the lower edge of the second modular partition assembly, and the receptor structure are located above the ceiling line upon installation of the first modular partition assembly, the second modular partition assembly, and the receptor structure in the structural frame building.

A occupiable building comprising:

• a structural frame defining a footprint of the occupiable building;
• at least one lower deck structure located within the footprint of the structural frame and supported by the structural frame;
• at least one upper deck structure located within the footprint of the structural frame and supported by the structural frame;
• an interior partition system installed between the lower deck structure and the upper deck structure to define an occupiable space, the occupiable space having a ceiling, the interior partition system comprising:
• a first modular partition assembly fastened to the lower deck structure along a lower edge of the first modular partition assembly;
• a second modular partition assembly fastened to the upper deck structure along an upper edge of the second modular partition assembly;
• and
• a receptor structure connecting an upper edge of the first modular partition assembly to a lower edge of the second modular partition assembly;
• wherein the upper edge of the first modular partition assembly, the lower edge of the second modular partition assembly, and the receptor structure are located above the ceiling of the occupiable space.

A method for constructing an occupiable space in a structural frame building, the structural frame building having a lower deck structure and an upper deck structure and the occupiable space having a ceiling line that defines a ceiling height of the occupiable space within the structural frame building, the method comprising:

• fastening a first modular partition assembly to the lower deck structure along a lower edge of the first partition assembly;
• fastening a second modular partition assembly to the upper deck structure along an upper edge of the second modular partition assembly;
• and
• connecting an upper edge of the first modular partition assembly to a lower edge of the second modular partition assembly via a receptor structure, wherein the upper edge of the first modular partition assembly, the lower edge of the second modular partition assembly, and the receptor structure are located above the ceiling line of the occupiable space.
