CHOP – Schuylkill Avenue Research Building ($3.25m received out of $3.25m asked)
Quote:
Number three on our countdown is a project that we reported on just a week or so ago, with CHOP hosting a recent groundbreaking at 2716 South St., where a new tower will rise. The 14-story Schuylkill Avenue Research Building (SARB) will house wet lab space for researchers and will sit directly next to the already completed Roberts Center. The full $3.25 million requested by CHOP was granted, with those funds going to support the construction of their growing riverfront campus.

Does this look like the start of a tower crane? I see ladders going up the structure, but I've never seen one with supports looking like this. Maybe because of the constrained site?
