Genesis Centre is a multi-purpose complex located at 7555 Falconridge Boulevard Northeast #10, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building houses the Saddletowne YMCA, several arenas, a swimming pool, several gymnasiums, as well as a field house. The building opened in 2012, and was expanded in 2014. The fire alarm system is original with the exception of the main FACP.
