The Design Team
On February 20, 2006, the CNTAARD Board of Commissioners selected The Southwest Louisiana Design Team as the exhibit design firm for the National Hurricane Museum and Science Center. The selection of this firm was made through an RFP process. Fourteen world-class exhibit design firms submitted proposals. The culmination of the process was a final presentation by each of the top five firms to the CNTAARD Board.
