A superconducting magnet system includes a coil support structure having a body, a superconducting magnet having a plurality of coils disposed about the body, and a helium vessel encompassing the coil support structure and the superconducting magnet. The superconducting magnet system includes a cooling system that includes a network of tubes disposed within the helium vessel and configured to transport helium within, wherein the network of tubes is retroactively thermally coupled to the plurality of coils. The cooling system includes a liquid helium storage system located within the helium vessel and a helium recondenser located outside the helium vessel. The cooling system includes one or more tubes coupling the helium storage system to the helium recondenser, wherein where the one or more tubes pass through the helium vessel is retroactively vacuum sealed to make the helium vessel a sealed helium vessel.
