The Springfield City School District is in the final stages of a $10.5 million renovation project at The Dome, its innovation centre and former South High School site. Funded largely by federal ESSER funds, the project aims to create enhanced learning areas, workforce development spaces, and room for community partnerships. Construction progress includes the completion of the first floor and administrative offices, with the addition of learning rooms and career exploration spaces expected to benefit students. The renovated facility will continue to host programmes like the Global Impact STEM Academy and provide space for student activities and athletic events.
