FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bluebolt Outdoor, a provider of solar-powered outdoor charging and media solutions, has been awarded a contract to install solar-powered charging benches on the campus of Northern Arizona University (NAU).
The initial installation will take place in the second week of March and will include six solar-powered benches placed in high-traffic pedestrian areas across campus. The benches operate entirely off-grid with no electrical trenching or utility expenses, offering outdoor seating and free wireless device charging while generating incremental revenue through college-approved advertising aligned with campus standards and values.

The NAU award represents the company’s third successful competitive RFP selection, following prior awards from the University of New Orleans and CUNY Lehman College in New York.
“This installation aligns with Northern Arizona University’s commitment to sustainability and student-focused infrastructure that also activates our outdoor spaces,” said Bjorn Flugstad, Senior Vice President, VP of University Finance & Business Services. “The University is looking forward to a successful relationship with Bluebolt Outdoor.”
