Compressed Air Factory, Industrial factory in 13th arrondissement of Paris, France.

The factory building features four parallel naves with a main hall constructed of red brick along the Panhard-et-Levassor quay.

Built in 1891 under engineer Joseph Leclaire, the facility operated with four Corliss steam engines and twenty-four Babcock & Wilcox boilers.

The structure belongs to the Campus des Grands Moulins and functions as the National School of Architecture Paris-Val de Seine.

The industrial site transformed into an educational institution in 2005, following architectural plans by Frederic Borel.

The factory supplied compressed air throughout Paris until 1994, powering public clocks, elevators, and numerous craft businesses.
