Nike is planning to extend its campus in Beaverton Ore with four new buildings and the biggest will be named after award-winning American tennis player, Serena Williams.
Serena just took to her Instagram page to announce the great achievement saying she is honored and grateful.
The new mum wrote:

The building is to cover more than one million square feet and it is expected to be opened in 2019.
Other buildings will be named after two-time Olympic gold medal runner Sebastian Coe and five-time national champion winning coach Mike Krzyzewski while a new parking garage celebrates the sporting heritage of New York City.
