Habitat for Humanity Restore volunteers Vince Perkins and Bill Bumby (wearing red hat) remove salvaged doors from the old Rennebohm building at the corner of University and Randall avenues.

Restore, a nonprofit organization that salvages and re-sells donated building materials, has deconstructed and removed nearly 20,000 pounds of salvaged material — doors, trim, lighting and plumb fixtures, cabinetry and railings — from several campus buildings along the 1300 block of University Avenue.

The buildings will soon be demolished to make way for the beginning of Phase I construction of the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery.
