Award & construction delays
Apr. 27, 2008:As I know, the AIA presented the architect Cobb with a National Honor Award for the John Hancock Tower in 1977.
In contrast to the sucessful completion of the building many problems arose during the construction period. Many delays and severe engineering and construction problems as falling glass panes had a massive effect on building costs. The estimated investment volume of $75,000,000 could not be realised.
