A modular vacuum drainage system is provided which facilitates quick and easy installation in a building. The system includes a vacuum central housed in an enclosure and having interface connections located adjacent to a periphery of the enclosure to allow immediate access thereto. The vacuum central is sized to fit through standard doorway sizes, and is preferably housed in a soundproof enclosure so that the vacuum central may be installed in a room without requiring a separate mechanical room. The enclosure may be decorated to match the decor of the office, thereby providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance. A modular plumbing fixture is also provided which may be pre-fabricated off-site. The modular plumbing fixture is provided in a housing and has water and vacuum pipe inlets accessible from outside of the housing to facilitate connection to the vacuum central. The modular plumbing fixture may be attached to the vacuum central using vacuum piping disposed in a piping enclosure having an attractive exterior. The vacuum piping and piping enclosure are pre-fabricated to further minimize installation time. The modular vacuum drainage system allows a facility to be renovated with additional waste fluid sources while minimizing installation costs and production disruptions.
