4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the columns and cross-members are formed to include evenly spaced and fixed through-holes sized to receive a flexible conduit and the flexible conduit passes through at least one through-hole.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the system 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.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the electrical cable passes through at least one through-hole.

7. The system of claim 3 , wherein a cover panel is removably coupled to the modular frame structure to cover the outlet enclosure.

8. The system of claim 7 , 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.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the columns include evenly spaced square-shaped through holes positioned between the slotted through-holes and fasteners extend through the cover panel and the square-shaped through-holes to removably fasten the cover panel to the modular frame structure.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the cover panel 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 system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the panels is movable relative to the modular frame structure to expose a storage space located within the modular frame structure.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the panels pivots relative to the modular frame structure.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the panels slides relative to the modular frame structure.

14. The system of claim 3 , wherein a non-gas service outlet is a data receptacle in communication with a centralized information management system.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is configured to be expanded by adding additional members to the modular frame structure.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein at least a portion of the modular frame structure is positioned within the wall.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the modular frame structure is positioned outside the boundaries of the wall.

18. A modular architectural room system for a room in a healthcare facility having a wall, the system comprising

a modular frame structure coupled to the wall, the modular frame structure including a plurality of columns secured together by removable fasteners,

a plurality of panels some of the plurality of panels being adjacent others of the plurality of panels, the panels secured to the modular frame structure by removable fasteners, the panels cooperating to define a generally coplanar surface,

a service outlet coupled to at least one of the panels, and

a molding having a head and a shank coupled to the head and extending perpendicular relative the head and a plurality of barbs extending outwardly from opposite sides of the shank,

wherein adjacent panels are spaced apart by a gap formed between the adjacent panels, the removable fasteners securing the panels to the modular frame structure are positioned in the gap and recessed from the generally coplanar surface of the panels, the molding positioned in the gap such that the ends of the plurality of barbs are deflected, and

wherein the system further comprises a 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, wherein the system is configured to be expanded by removing portions of at least one of the panels and replacing the removed portions with additional service outlets and flexible conduit communicating gas from the additional service outlets to the unused ports of the gas manifold,

wherein the panels are formed to include removable knock-out portions,

wherein removal of each of the knock-out portions defines a space in which a gas service outlet may be received.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein at least one of the 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.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein each of the 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.
