Industries We Serve: Higher Education
From the medical school to the basketball arena, a university runs on compressed air, vacuum, and pumps. Brabazon services every building, every brand, and every application, so your facilities team makes one call instead of ten.
Most campuses buy and service these systems building by building, vendor by vendor. That means inconsistent maintenance, surprise failures during finals week, and a filing cabinet full of contracts. Here is where the equipment actually lives, and what it takes to keep it running.
Oil-free compressed air systems and lab vacuum pumps keep instrumentation, fume hoods, and lab benches running. Contamination is not an option in a research environment, so air quality and preventive maintenance matter as much as uptime.
Teaching hospitals and health science buildings depend on medical air, medical vacuum, and dryers that meet strict standards. We supply, install, and maintain these systems, or keep your in-house team stocked with the parts to do it themselves.
Compressors, dryers, pumps, and medical vacuum units, plus a steady supply of OEM and aftermarket parts. Some medical centers run their own maintenance crews. We work the way you work.
Arenas use compressed air for pneumatic roof and rafter systems, game-day operations, and shop equipment. Natatoriums and athletic facilities rely on pumps that cannot fail on event night.
The buildings nobody tours are the ones that keep campus running. We consolidate compressors, vacuum systems, and pumps across multiple buildings under a single preventive maintenance agreement with one point of contact.
Woodworking shops, maintenance garages, print operations, and skilled-trade programs all run on shop air. Right-sized compressors and dryers keep tools running and moisture out of the lines.
A major research university relies on Brabazon across its campus. Our technicians are on site at least once a month. Here is what a single-source relationship actually looks like:
Two 20 HP compressors under a preventive maintenance agreement.
Sold and maintain the Sullair compressor that powers the arena's pneumatic rafter system.
GlobalVac Air System for research labs, all under PM agreement.
General services, veterinary, medical sciences, and life sciences buildings covered by one consolidated PM agreement for their lab and science equipment.
New compressors, dryers, pumps, and medical vacuum units. Their in-house team handles maintenance; we keep them supplied with the parts to do it.
Two new compressors recently installed, with a desiccant change on their dryer scheduled next.
Facilities directors and procurement teams do not need another vendor. They need fewer. Here is what single-sourcing your air, vacuum, and pump systems gets you:
Consolidate service across labs, arenas, plants, and shops under one contract, one schedule, and one invoice.
Sullair, Atlas Copco, Becker, Grundfos, and everything else already installed on your campus. No rip-and-replace required.
Full service where you want it, parts supply and technical support where your own crews have it covered.
A compressor failure in a research building cannot wait until Monday. Neither do we.
Lubricant analysis, vibration testing, thermal imaging, and leak detection. We find problems before they find you.
One qualified vendor, consistent documentation, and predictable budgeting instead of a stack of one-off purchase orders.
Every campus is different. A technical college with two shop compressors has different needs than a research university with forty buildings. Our plans scale to match.
Custom preventive maintenance built around your equipment list, your academic calendar, and your budget cycle. A practical starting point for smaller campuses.
Multi-point inspections, lubricant analysis, vibration testing, and thermal imaging with quarterly billing. Optional remote monitoring keeps eyes on critical systems between visits.
Bumper-to-bumper coverage with monthly billing. Fixed, predictable costs for the systems your campus absolutely cannot afford to lose.
We will walk your buildings, document every compressor, vacuum system, and pump on campus, and show you exactly what consolidation would look like. Serving campuses across Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri.
Thank you. Our regional team will contact you shortly to schedule your campus walk through.
