Holliston, MA – Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. has completed the electrical installation work at Taunton High School and John F. Parker Middle School.
A six-phased project which began over three years ago included extensive renovations to the existing 496,500sf high school and the addition of a new 62,365sf middle school, with occupancy maintained within the high school throughout the duration of the job.
Able to accommodate approximately 3,000 students, the three-story Taunton High
School was redesigned internally, allowing for reconfigured academic areas, and included
all required code upgrades, with new features such as roofing, electrical systems, a fire
protection sprinkler system, and entry to the school, in addition to the abatement of asbestos,
renovation of HVAC systems and partial window replacement.
Originally part of the high school’s main building, John F. Parker Middle School
was constructed as a three-story addition to the existing academic structure, allowing for the
school to function independently, while sharing the central heating plant and other building
services.
The Griffin Electric team was responsible for installing new high voltage services,
along with a new 4000amp secondary service, in addition to exterior lighting onsite. Life
safety systems, including fire alarm, lightning protection and backup generator were setup by
Griffin, plus state-of-the-art interior lighting, with an energy-saving lighting control system.
Furthermore, telecommunications, data, clock, paging and A/V systems were integrated into
the new middle school and updated high school.
Bacon/Agostini Construction, Joint Venture, based in East Providence, R.I., served
as the Construction Manager At-Risk for the project, while Gilbane Building Company,
of Providence, provided the Program Management. Design Partnership of Cambridge, Mass.
was the project Architect, and RDK Engineers of Andover, the Electrical Engineer.
