PHILADELPHIA — The Franklin Institute of Philadelphia has selected Skanska USA to construct its new building addition — the 53,000-square-foot Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pavilion. The project is part of a four-year renovation of the facility and the museum has raised $60 million toward its total goal of $64.7 million. The pavilion addition will include an education and conference center and a permanent exhibition. Skanska plans to break ground this spring and the addition is slated to open in the summer of 2014.
