City High School in Iowa City is getting a $30 million upgrade

Multiple renovations and additions are nearing completion at City High School in Iowa City, Iowa.

The improvements include a new building on the east side of the campus, a 2,000-seat, two-story athletic gym, locker rooms, a modern cafeteria and installation of air conditioning in the entire school.

The upper and lower commons will function as the new cafeteria and will offer students "cafe-style" and outdoor seating. 

Construction began in September 2019 and is expected to be completed later this year.
