Peninsula: College’s dorm-room furniture donated to non-profit agencies

PORT ANGELES — What do you do with college dorm room furniture when the dorm building is about to be leveled?

One option is to give it away to nonprofit agencies that could use the pieces to help house homeless youth and families.

That’s precisely what Peninsula College officials did.

Since July, officials from Dungeness Valley Habitat for Humanity and Serenity House of Clallam County have arranged to disassemble fold-out Murphy beds, doors and desks from the residence hall.

In about a month, the building constructed in the early 1970s to house students will be razed to make room for a new science and technology center.
