Challenge
Given an integer n>=4 as input create an ASCII art "prison door"* measuring n-1 characters wide and n characters high, using the symbols from the example below.
Example
╔╦╗
╠╬╣
╠╬╣
╚╩╝
The characters used are as follows:
┌───────────────┬─────────┬───────┐
│ Position │ Symbol │ Char │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Top Left │ ╔ │ 9556 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Top │ ╦ │ 9574 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Top Right │ ╗ │ 9559 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Right │ ╣ │ 9571 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Bottom Right │ ╝ │ 9565 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Bottom │ ╩ │ 9577 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Bottom Left │ ╚ │ 9562 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Left │ ╠ │ 9568 │
├───────────────┼─────────┼───────┤
│ Inner │ ╬ │ 9580 │
└───────────────┴─────────┴───────┘
Rules
- You may take input by any reasonable, convenient means.
- For the purposes of this challenge, in languages where the symbols used to build the "door" are multi-byte characters, they may be counted towards your score as a single byte each.
- All other characters (single- or multi-byte) should be counted as normal.
- You may output an array/list of lines instead of a multi-line string.
- Output may not contain any leading or trailing whitespace other than a trailing newline where absolutely necessary.
- This is code-golf so lowest byte count wins.

* Yes, I'm aware that the bigger it gets the less it looks like a prison door! :D

n=>1 to n map{x=>val s=if(x<2)"╔╦╗"else if(x<n)"╠╬╣"else"╚╩╝";s(0)+(""+s(1))*(n-3)+s(2)}
I feel like there's a nicer way to repeat middle elements of a list n times, but this is all I can golf it for now.
n => //The input
1 to n //Make a range [1..n]
map{x=> //For each x in that range, make a line:
val s= //s is a string in the form "$left$inner$right"
if(x<2)"╔╦╗" //For the top
else if(x<n)"╠╬╣" //For the inner parts
else"╚╩╝"; //For the bottom
s(0)+(""+s(1))*(n-3)+s(2)} //Repeat the inner part n-3 times
