|}'''Contemporary Calgary''' is an art museum in Calgary. It is in Downtown Calgary, off of 11 St SW. It was where the former Telus World Of Science in Calgary was before 2011. The building is from 1967, but the alarm system is from around 2018. Following the opening of [[TELUS Spark]] in 2011, Telus World of Science closed its doors. Prior to then, the space had two fire alarm systems, one Notifier and one EST.

== System Specifications ==
'''Centennial Planetarium''' was a planetarium in Calgary. It is in Downtown Calgary, at 701 11 St SW. It is one of Calgary's best examples of Brutalist architecture. The TELUS World of Science moved in in 1984, and was renovated in 2011. Following the opening of [[TELUS Spark]] in 2011, Telus World of Science closed its doors. In 2018, an art museum known as Contemporary Calgary moved into the space. The system was installed following the new tenant.
