Wayne J. Griffin Electric completes Daly Building at Clinton Hospital: project team includes Turner Construction and S/L/A/M Collaborative

Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric) has completed the electrical installation work at Clinton Hospital's new 2-story addition, officially named the Daly Building. Part of the UMass Memorial Health Care System, the 28,000 s/f facility has devoted its 14,000 s/f first floor to emergency medical care, while the second floor has been setup as an adaptable space, available for use whenever the need arises within the medical institution. In order to accommodate the growing number of emergency room patients at the hospital, the facility has doubled in size and features a larger triage space, in addition to individual exam rooms and a secure mental health area, increasing privacy for both patients and their families. Griffin Electric was responsible for installing service equipment on-site, in addition to power and lighting. Additionally, systems for fire alarm, nurse call and telecommunications were setup by the Griffin team. The project's construction team included general contractor, Turner Construction Company, Inc.; architect, The S/L/A/M Collaborative; and electrical engineer, Thompson Consultants, Inc. "Completing many projects with both Turner Construction and UMass Memorial in the past has prepared us for future expectations with each group," said president Wayne Griffin. "Our project contributions are mindful of the owner and contractor requirements before, during and after the construction process."
