Hypoxico Delivers New Altitude Studio for Husson University
July 08, 2025 | By Jeremy Cipiti
Hypoxico is thrilled to announce the successful installation of a cutting-edge Altitude Studio at Husson University in Bangor, Maine. This advanced modular altitude chamber transforms a section of the Exercise Science Lab into a fully controlled environment for altitude training, research, and performance enhancement. Powered by the innovative Hypoxico Olympus 400 Altitude Generator, this new facility offers precise control over both simulated altitude and temperature, setting a new standard for university-level exercise science and athletic training.
Seamless Integration: Two New Hypoxico Solutions in One
When Dr. Jonathan Houck, Assistant Professor of Exercise Science at Husson University, approached Hypoxico, he sought a solution that would deliver a high-performance altitude room without the need for major renovations. The challenge was to create a research and teaching space that:
- Fits within limited lab space
- Requires minimal mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) changes
- Stays within budget
- Provides integrated controls for both temperature and simulated elevation
The Hypoxico team delivered by combining two of our latest products—the Altitude Studio and the Olympus 400 Altitude Generator—into a single, seamless package. Dr. Houck explains that "As a key part of our laboratory, the chamber greatly enhances our ability to teach and research environmental physiology in a wide range of hypoxic and thermal stimuli. Husson students can now move beyond the textbook and gain firsthand experiences with the effects of hypoxia on human physiology and sports performance."
Hypoxico Olympus 400 Altitude Generator: Powering Altitude Training Innovation
The Olympus 400 is a versatile, all-in-one altitude generator designed for a wide range of applications, including altitude tents, rooms, studios, and chambers. Available in three models (200, 400, and 600), the Olympus series delivers both hypoxic (low-oxygen) and hyperoxic (high-oxygen) air streams, making it ideal for:
- Athletic performance and endurance training
- Research and academic studies
- Wellness and recovery environments
Key Features:
- Integrated Controls: All controls, relays, and power components are housed in a single, user-friendly chassis.
- Streamlined Plumbing: Multiple smaller generators are internally connected, with bypass blower fans and single external connections for easy installation.
- Customizable Performance: Each Olympus unit is tailored by our expert U.S. team to meet the specific flow rate and oxygen concentration requirements of your installation.
