Work will soon begin on the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and Regional History Museum in the US.
The project was designed by US-based Trahan and Associates and will be delivered by construction firm VCC.
The two-storey, 27,500ft² building will be built at a cost of $12m, according to thenewsstar.com.
The scheme is expected to be complete by December 2011, with induction ceremonies taking place in 2012.
