Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric) has recently completed the electrical installation work at the updated R.I. Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) facility at 600 New London Ave.
The building was renovated in order to better the working environment for DMV employees and streamline the experience for R.I. drivers. The 78,000 s/f building features many earth-friendly attributes, including high-efficiency mechanical systems and daylight dimming sensors, plus incorporates green building materials such as bamboo and recycled carpeting. For the convenience of drivers, the many types of DMV transactions were distributed on three floors, and enhanced waiting and concession areas were created.
Griffin Electric was responsible for installing new power distribution within the building, in addition to systems for tele/data, security and fire notification.
Dimeo Construction Co. was the general contractor on-site, while Lerner Ladds + Bartel served as the project architect. Creative Environment Corp. Consulting Engineers was the electrical engineer.
"There are an increasing number of projects awarded to us which are built within the LEED certification parameters," said Wayne Griffin.
"We are glad to be part of any project that is dedicated to the preservation and sustainability of our environment, through the use of earth-friendly materials and procedures."
