Excellence Recognized: Craftsmanship and Transformation on a GBCA Award-Winning Stage

We’re proud to share that C. Erickson & Sons was recognized as a finalist in two categories at the 2025 GBCA Construction Excellence Awards—ultimately taking home a win for The Franklin Institute’s Body Odyssey Exhibit. This recognition highlights our team’s commitment to craftsmanship, collaboration, and thoughtful transformation across diverse project types.

We’re honored to once again be recognized by the General Building Contractors Association (GBCA) Construction Excellence Awards—this year as finalists in two distinct categories, with a winning project that reflects the heart of what we do best.

C. Erickson & Sons was named a finalist for Excellence in Craftsmanship ($5–$30 Million) for the Glenmede Trust project, a sophisticated renovation that demanded precision, attention to detail, and seamless coordination with a long-standing client partner. The project exemplifies our ability to deliver refined, high-quality environments while maintaining operational sensitivity and architectural integrity.

In addition, we were finalists—and proud winners—in the Building Transformation & Renovation Under $5 Million category for The Franklin Institute’s Body Odyssey Exhibit. This award-winning project reflects our deep experience in the cultural and museum sector, where construction requires not only technical expertise, but respect for storytelling, public engagement, and historic context. Transforming the space into an immersive, educational exhibit was a true team effort and a meaningful contribution to one of Philadelphia’s most iconic institutions.

Being recognized across two categories underscores the breadth of our work—from corporate and institutional interiors to highly specialized cultural environments—and the consistent level of care our teams bring to every project, regardless of size or sector.

We’re grateful to GBCA for this recognition and to our clients, design partners, and trade partners who helped make these projects successful. Most importantly, we thank our Erickson team, whose craftsmanship, problem-solving, and dedication continue to set the standard.

Interested in learning more about these projects or how we can bring the same level of excellence to your next build?

Let’s start the conversation.
