National Grid is building a new electrical substation on the Providence River that will accommodate the electrical needs of future development downtown, including the I-195 Redevelopment District. It replaces a facility that dated to the 1920s. The building, designed by KITE Architects of Providence, will house electrical switching equipment. The exterior will be made of concrete with an etched design to resemble an interference pattern. TRC Companies Inc., of Lowell, Mass., is providing construction services. Odeh Engineers Inc. is the building engineer. The $87 million project is expected to be completed in late 2017.
