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.
