Each framing member has an elongated body with front and back side. The front side being seamless to prevent particulate accumulation, with wall panel support flanges to hold wall panels, window panels, or doors. Glazing spline is inserted into receptor grooves on the side to secure the panels in place. The back side of the framing member has a channel shaped utility chase area to hold fittings which secure the framing member to the floor or ceiling or another framing member, as well as attaching mechanical and electrical equipment. A channel closure strip may be inserted into the utility chase area to form a double wall system with two equal front sides whose flanges hold a thicker double wall panel. Both single wall and double wall assemblies may be installed and demounted from the back, outside the clean room environment.
