Greyhound Canada was a long-distance bus system that operated in Western Canada until 2018 and Eastern Canada in 2021. This particular building is located at 850 16 St SW, Calgary, AB, and once housed Greyhound's office for all of Western Canada. It now sits vacant. It was constructed in 1986 and despite the building appearing very dated and having multiple roof leaks. The fire alarm system was upgraded in 2010, but some of the bells are original.

FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4100U hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the west entrance. There are several zone cards installed, however one zone connects to an unknown device. The system runs Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol, and the system coding is continuous due strobes being installed in the garage area and only running on two wires on the same NAC.
