Led by Makayla Harmon-McIntosh and Erin McAnally-Trejo, this project eliminates methane combustion indoors, significantly improving air quality by removing respiratory irritants and particulate matter. The facility upgrades involve safely capping existing gas lines, insulating chimneys to prevent drafts, and installing modern electrical conduit. By transitioning away from fossil fuels, the university is successfully cutting over 3.5 tons of CO2 equivalent per fireplace annually. Beyond its direct environmental impact, this proactive infrastructural update removes the safety hazards associated with traditional gas units while maintaining warm, engaging communal spaces for Northern Arizona University students<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    \n<h5>Project Lead:<\/h5>\n<p>Makayla Harmon-Mclntosh<\/p>\n<h5>Project Advisor:<\/h5>\n<p>Erin McAnally-Trejo<\/p>\n<h5>Date:<\/h5>\n<p>2026-02-23<\/p>\n<h5>Funding Amount:<\/h5>\n<p>$32,550.00<\/p>\n<h5>Department:<\/h5>\n<p>Facility Services<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/06\/Campus-Living-Fireplace-Replacment_Makayla-Harmon-Mclntosh_2-23-2026_ProjectApplication.pdf\">Supporting Documents<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3002,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ring_central_script_selection":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5739","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3002"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5739"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5739\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5740,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5739\/revisions\/5740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
