Griffin Electric’s Georgia Team Completes Chapel Hill High School Renovation

July 1, 2026

Holliston, MA (July 2026). Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric), a leading electrical contractor throughout New England and the Southeast for nearly five decades, recently completed electrical and telecom work on the Chapel Hill High School in Douglasville, GA. This project, which involved a mix of new construction and renovation work, saw Griffin Electric implement a range of improvements across the property that will positively impact current and future students for years to come.

First built in 1999, Chapel Hill is one of five high schools in Douglasville and serves over a thousand students in grades 9 through 12. This project focused on a complete modernization of the existing facility, as well as the implementation of state-of-the-art additions, such as the construction of a new academic building which holds 18 classrooms and a Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp (NJROTC) building. Selective demolition of the school’s front and rear canopies paved way for renovations to the main entryway and bus drop off canopy. Additionally, various cosmetic upgrades were applied to the school’s street-facing facade, such as the installation of metal panels over existing brick.

Griffin Electric’s Georgia Region handled all branch power, lighting, and distribution on the project. The Griffin team was also responsible for installing a lighting control system and raceways for a new fire alarm system for the school, as well as site lighting across the campus. Additionally, the Griffin telecom team installed structured cabling, as well as an intrusion detection system on site.

Atlanta-based Gilbane Building Company managed construction for the project. Other members of the project team included Cole Hil, LLC of Atlanta and Savant Engineering, LLC of Sandy Springs, which served as architect and electrical engineer, respectively.
