Claim 16:
17. A containment system for separating a containment area from an external environment, the containment system comprising:
a plurality of adjustable height assembly panels attached to one another in a side-by-side arrangement to form a continuous wall that serves as a barrier between the containment area and the external environment,
wherein each of the adjustable height assembly panels comprises a lower assembly and an upper assembly slideably attached to the lower assembly,
wherein each of the adjustable height assembly panels is movable between:
a locked configuration where the upper assembly and the lower assembly are constrained from movement relative to one another in a vertical direction; and
an unlocked configuration where the upper assembly and the lower assembly are movable relative to one another in the vertical direction to adjust a height of the adjustable height assembly panel; and

wherein the containment system seals the containment area from the external environment regardless of whether the plurality of adjustable height assembly panels are in the unlocked configuration or in the locked configuration,
wherein each of the plurality of adjustable height assembly panels comprises a plurality of components constructed from a strut, wherein the strut comprises a generally square cross-section with one side haying a continuous surface and three sides with channels therein.
