‘’’Telus Spark Science Centre’’’ is a science museum located at 220 Saint George’s Drive Northeast, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The museum had 431,262 visitors in 2016. Opened in 2011, it is the newest science museum in Canada. The fire alarm system is original to the building.

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by a Siemens FireFinder XLS addressable fire alarm system. The panel is likely located in an electrical room. The system runs Siemens’ FirePrint addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. First stage coding is 20BPM, followed by temporal in general alarm.

Annunciators

There is a Siemens SSD (System Status Display) annunciator in the main entrance vestibule.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are Siemens MTH-MC-W-B horn/strobes (white, wall-mount, bilingual lettering). These are set to the continuous horn tone, and are coded by the main FACP.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Siemens HMS-2S addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Siemens HFP-11 addressable multisensor smoke/heat detectors throughout the building.

-'''TELUS Spark''' is a science museum in Calgary. It is located right of off St. George's Drive NE, close to the Calgary Zoo. This science center was built in 2011, replacing the original Telus World of Science located off of 11 St SW, in Downtown Calgary.  Despite being regarded as superior to TWOS, this center is noticeably smaller than the building it replaced. The science center's fire alarm system is original, no modifications since 2011.
