reuse: “About 94% of the project's shell and structure was reused, and about 14%, by cost, of the building materials were salvaged. These materials, either from the existing building or purchased from recycling vendors, include doors, windows (reused as interior windows), sinks, brick, and stone. Of the building's furniture and casework, 72% was salvaged and reused.

All new construction materials were evaluated and specified for recycled content and local manufacturing or extraction. As a result, 51% of the new building materials, by cost, were recycled, per LEED calculations, and 67% were manufactured within 500 miles of the project. Of these, 55% were also harvested or extracted within 500 miles of the site. Of the new wood used for the project, 73% was certified to have come from sustainably managed forests. In many cases plywood and framing lumber was reused several times as barricades and formwork before being installed in permanent locations in the building as blocking and rough carpentry elements.” https://www.aiatopten.org/node/158
