Olympic Oval

The Olympic Oval is a multipurpose ice arena best known for speed skating. It gets its name from its original purpose, which was to host the 1988 Winter Olympics. It is located on the campus of the University of Calgary, and has a speed skating track, along with 2 enclosed hockey surfaces. It opened in 1987, and was the first covered speed skating track in North America. Most of the fire alarm system is original, except for the fire panel and new strobes.

System Specifications

FACP

The facility is protected by a Simplex 4100U addressable fire alarm control panel. It was installed in around 2001-2010, and likely replaced a Simplex 2120, judging by the neighboring building's fire panel being a 2120. It has voice evac capabilities, and likely does slow whoop and the default male message. Although the system is addressable, the system is not really set up in an addressable manner.

Notification Appliances

The main notification appliances are the original Simplex "LifeAlarm" 2902-9734 speakers. The second level has Wheelock RSS-24MCW (red, wall) remote strobes for visual coverage as well as the Simplex speakers, installed when the 4100U was.
Fun Fact: Did you know that some buildings use fire alarm signals as door alarms? For example, the Olympic Oval uses Simplex 2901-9834 mechanical horns, original to the building.

Pull Stations

The pull stations are Simplex 4251-20. They're also known as "T-bars" due to their distinct T-shaped handle. They are original to the building. There are possibly some newer Simplex 2099/4099 pull stations, however this is unconfirmed.
