Manhattan Beach Community,
It is hard to believe that it was just 2019 when we broke ground for the new Mira Costa Athletic Complex. Two years later, we are proud to introduce this completed, stunning facility to the public. We are excited to welcome our student athletes as they start indoor practice this week and we look forward to welcoming our high school students in the very near future.
I would like to thank the MBUSD Board of Trustees, the design team from Gensler, the Balfour Beatty construction team, the Citizens’ Committee to Pass Measures C and EE, the MBUSD leadership team, MBX, and, of course, the voters of Manhattan Beach. This truly was a collaborative effort, and we could not have done this without any of you.
Without further ado, please enjoy the student-produced virtual tour below. We look forward to a time (hopefully very soon) when we will be able to see our athletes, coaches, and our entire community fully utilizing our new MCHS Athletic Complex, practicing, competing, and enjoying all that our new facility has to offer. Enjoy this first look!
