EG Sawyer helps repurpose building into secure hotel

Bostonians have an interesting conundrum to puzzle: Was the security better at the Charles Street Jail when it was a prison, or will it be better this coming spring when the completely refurbished site reopens as a luxury hotel?

This is not idle speculation. Electrical contractor Edward G. Sawyer Co. Inc., Weymouth, Mass., is in the midst of a complete upgrade and modernization of the security electronics for the soon-to-be-opened Charles Street Hotel. The final result, with a total value of $100 million, is a luxury, four-star hotel, which will offer guest stunning views of the Charles River.
