East Dubuque High School will undergo a substantial renovation next year, the second construction phase in a multi-year process designed to bring all the district’s students onto one campus. School board members on Tuesday night accepted bids totaling about $4.8 million for work at the district’s junior high and high school. The bids include construction of a new gym, including a batting cage, as well as the creation of a new space for welding classes, and other electrical work to prepare for future renovations. The majority of construction for the project will take place next spring and summer. The first phase of the project, a $3.4 million renovation, wrapped up in the fall of 2021.
