Site mobilization is due to start on April 3.
The new synthetic track and field at Culver City High School is set to break ground on April 3.
The Culver City Unified School District has partnered with Balfour Beatty Construction for the project.
"Our athletic fields at the middle school/high school complex are used by literally thousands of students each and every week," said CCUSD Board of Education President Kathy Paspalis in an official statement. "I'm thrilled that the field renovations are finally underway and large portions of the projects will be up and running for the first day of the 2013-14 academic year."

Balfour Beatty Construction will work alongside Westberg + White Architects on the new track and field. The work will include constructing a new synthetic grass football field and a new synthetic track.
The team will also work with the District's solar consultant and Westberg + White to help coordinate the future solar project at Culver City High School, Culver City Middle School and Farragut Elementary School.
