Stephen Avenue Place is an 41-story office tower and retail hub in Downtown Calgary, AB. It was completed in 1976, and was formerly known as the Scotia Centre. There has been a recent renovation, so the fire alarm system is not entirely original.
System Specifications
FACP
The building is protected by a two-stage, voice evac Simplex 4100ES fire alarm system. It is unknown where the panels are, but there are more than one, and it is networked to the Hudson's Bay next door. However, that one is not voice evac.

The notification appliances are Simplex "TrueAlert" 4906-9154 (white, ceiling mount) speaker/strobes, installed recently. There are also some Simplex "LifeAlarm" 2902-9316 (square, 8") speakers left over from the previous system.
