Working atop 35-foot scaffolding, Rick Van Oel of Evergreene Archictural Arts places a few careful touch-up brush strokes upon a newly-installed mural as restoration work continues inside the Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Hall of Laureates in Des Moines. Serving as headquarters for the World Food Prize, and as a special tribute to Dr. Norman Borlaug, the World Food Prize has embarked on a $29.8 million capital project to restore the century-old Des Moines Public Library Building as the Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Hall of Laureates.
