Ahead of the upcoming football event, Austin ISD has announced plans to renovate athletic fields with artificial turf as part of the 2022 Bond Program. The first fields scheduled for renovation are at LBJ and Northeast early college high schools.
The initiative aims to enhance athletic facilities across Austin ISD's comprehensive high schools. Initial plans targeted completion by the end of summer 2024. However, design challenges and permitting delays have pushed the timeline back.
Austin ISD has been collaborating with the City of Austin for a year and a half to address these issues and secure necessary permits. The district now expects most fields to be completed by late 2025, with some extending into early 2026.
The project underscores a commitment to upgrading sports infrastructure within the district. For ongoing updates on timelines and other details, stakeholders are encouraged to visit relevant platforms or submit feedback through designated channels.
"El primer campo deportivo comenzará a construirse esta primavera," stated officials, emphasizing progress on construction schedules in both English and Spanish communications.
