Shelburne, VT Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric) has completed the electrical and telecommunications installation work at Wake Robin Lifecare Community’s health center, community center and new residential building.

A renovation and addition to the 150,000 s/f Linden Health Center includes three separate neighborhoods for health services and a new dining venue to serve all residents at Wake Robin.  The community center provides an updated location for the community’s fitness center and both informal and restaurant-style dining options.  The new Maple Apartment building offers one or two-bedroom options for residents, with features including nine-foot ceilings, large windows, balconies and open-floor living plans.  

Griffin Electric was responsible for installing power and lighting within the facility, including associated fixtures and switchgear. Temporary power and site lighting for use during construction was also set-up by Griffin, as well as systems for fire alarm, call aid/nurse call and medium voltage.  Additionally, a 500kw diesel-powered generator including automatic transfer switches was included in the company’s electrical contract, along with two car charging stations.  Telecommunications work included the installation of a structured cabling system.  

OnePoint Partners was the owner’s project manager, while LECESSE Construction served as the project’s construction manager. Perkins Eastman was the architect and Alderson Engineering was the electrical engineer.
