SRC Field House LED Lights- XHF036
The project will replace HID lights in the fieldhouse with LED lamps including controls.
CCAT Mini-Split Heat Pump- XHF034
The project took six months to design (October 23, 2019 to April 13, 2020) and two months to implement (February 5, 2021 to April 9, 2021) for a total cost of $84,194.44. The completed system replaced the existing wood stove as the sole source of space heating at the time. By installing an all electric mini-split heating system, CCAT aligns its sustainability and carbon reduction goals to move towards zero net energy and toward being a completely electrified home. The system contains a single outdoor unit and 5 indoor units (4 upstairs and 1 downstairs).
FSH Fisheries Pumps- XHF033

Fume Hood Measures
The HEIF committee allocated $8,000 for one semester to create and fund an energy analyst team which performed a range of behavioral outreach programs - including presentations and sign implementations - and energy analyses to measure results. The team expected to save roughly 44,100 kWh, $5,750, and 17,250 kgCO2 annually.
Greenspace Management- XHF038
This project converted several "green spaces"- or areas predominantly covered in grass- to areas that would require less water and fuel for maintenance. The Library Oak Lawn, the Van Matre Lawns, and the Harry Griffith Hall (HGH) Courtyard Lawns were all converted, and water usage for these areas is estimated to have decreased from 40,900 gallons per year to 5,539 gallons per year- now representing only 13% of the previous usage.Read more here: Final Report
E-Bike for WRRAP- XHF039
The purpose of the WRRAP Electric Bike project was to provide a reliable and suitable form of transportation for the Compost Squad from the Waste Reduction and Resource Awareness Program (WRRAP) to collect organic material within the Cal Poly Humboldt campus. In Spring 2025, the bike was given away to the Full Cycle Compost organization. Read More Here: Final Report
NAS Food Sovereignty Lab XPL265
The Food Sovereignty Lab is an interdisciplinary, collaborative effort that is student-designed and community-informed to create a cultural workspace for students to explore the theme of Indigenous Food Sovereignty at Cal Poly Humboldt. The Food Sovereignty Lab will renovate and locate in BSS 168, and sit adjacent to the Native Fourm and Goudin'i Gallery in the Behavioral and Social Sciences building.
Ethnobotanical Map
This project entails the creation of an interactive map that has pins on campus showing locations of plants that have ethnobotanical characteristics and relationships. See final report here. This was phase one of the project and has shifted into a project titled "Place Based Learning Practices Project". See project page here.
Bicycle Shelter- XHF040
This project proposed the establishment of a secure bicycle shelter on campus. This enclosed, protected, weatherproof structure will provide cyclists with peace of mind that their mode of transportation will be kept safe and operational when they need it.
Food Summit
The Food Summit 2022 is a food justice focused event that took place during the first 3 weeks of April 2022. The primary goal of the Food Summit was to generate awareness of the BIPOC contributions and knowledge of food and discuss how the HSU community can build food resiliency and equity. The total Spring 2022 budget approved for this event is estimated to be $29,100 in addition to a $2,000 match funding given by Food Summit partner, La Comida Nos Une. $10,000 of the Food Summit Budget was allocated to the Indigenous Foods Festival, organized by the Rou Dalaguur Food Sovereignty Lab.
