Southcentre Mall is a large indoor shopping mall located at 100 Anderson Road Southeast, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The mall is owned by Oxford Properties, and has over 160 stores. The mall originally opened in 1974, and was extensively renovated in 2009. The fire alarm system for the main mall was installed in 2009, and the FACP was replaced in 2020. The Sporting Life system was installed in 2016. The Hudsons Bay system was installed in the 2000s. The Decathlon/Winners system was installed in 2022. All systems are networked into each other to trip when one goes into alarm, and were installed due to the mall’s panel not having enough capacity.
