Mirman School Celebrates the Opening of the Kotzubei Family Athletics Field
Drought conscience infrastructure reduces water usage, while enabling Mirman School to host home field games for the first time in its history.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mirman School is pleased to announce that a new athletics field -- called the Kotzubei Family Athletics Field -- is now ready for play.
The Kotzubei Family Athletics Field is equipped with natural turf that is watered with a 100% automatic irrigation system, utilizing a smart controller, which senses weather conditions and modifies the watering schedule accordingly. The field itself utilizes Tifway II Bermuda turf, which is the most drought tolerant species available for playing fields. Best suited for Southern California's warm climate, this turf will enable Mirman School to minimize water usage as compared with other playfield suitable turf species.
"The Kotzubei Family share our founder's belief in celebrating the whole child," said Susan Berman, Board Chair. "Quietly, and with an open heart, they made this expansion possible."
In addition to the athletics field, many Mirman families have provided funding and other support for a new Athletics Department building and sports courts. This expansion will be located on the eastern side of campus. For the first time, Mirman will be able to host field home games and hold simultaneous practices for its volleyball and basketball teams. This will also allow for future expansion of the school's academic programs, classrooms, and other facilities.
"While we refer to this space as a field, it is much more than that," said Dan Vorenberg, Head of School. "Indeed, this is the quintessential outdoor classroom – a place where some of the most important Mirman lessons will be learned."
