Skanska expands Cox Science Center and Aquarium in Florida, USA, for USD 83M, about SEK 820M

Skanska has signed a contract with Cox Science Center and Aquarium for the expansion of their existing facility in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA. The contract is worth USD 83M, about SEK 820M, which will be included in the US order bookings for the fourth quarter of 2025.

The project scope consists of expanding the existing Cox Science Center and Aquarium (CSCA) by constructing an 8,000-square meter, two-story Science Pavilion. The expansion includes state-of-the-art space for an expanded aquarium, permanent and traveling exhibitions, and STEM exploration. The expansion will include space for a total of approximately 950,000 liters of salt and freshwater tanks for Florida’s fifth largest aquarium. The facility’s largest concrete exhibit tank will have an acrylic window weighing roughly 9,100 kilos.

The expansion will be constructed while the existing CSCA facility remains open to the public. 

Work is currently underway and is expected to be completed in September 2027.
