Iowa City, Iowa
The University of Iowa will begin construction in late 2012 on the new $271 million Children’s Hospital in Iowa City. Consolidating pediatric medical care in a single location, the eight-story facility will include a 195-bed tower featuring larger patient rooms, play areas, and a children’s theater. Completion is expected in early 2015. The project is a part of a 10-year, $1.1 billion expansion plan.
