North Hill Centre was the first shopping mall in Calgary, Alberta. It is located off of 14 Ave NW. The mall spans two floors, with professional offices (dental, pediatric and doctor clinics) on the second level. The mall was built in 1958, expanded in 1973, and then majorly renovated in 2000. The fire alarm system is from the 2000 renovation, however the panel is currently unknown at this time.

The fire alarm panel(s) is/are most likely a Notifier NFS2-3030C, judging by some smoke detectors, however this is unconfirmed as the panel is not visible.
