Shouldice Aquatic Centre is an indoor swimming pool located at 5303 Bowness Rd NW, Calgary, AB. It is owned and operated by the City of Calgary. It originally opened as an outdoor pool in 1967, before being built over and converted into an indoor pool in 1980. It was then expanded and remodeled in 2012. The fire alarm system was upgraded in 1992, and again in 2007; the system remained through the 2012 renovations.

System Specifications (2007-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main lobby. The system runs Mircom’s CLIP addressable protocol, and the system coding is continuous.
The FX-2000 replaced an Edwards 2280 in 2007 as part of an upgrade project for select city buildings.

Notification Appliances

Most audible notification appliances are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10” gong).
There is an Edwards MB10-24 motor bell (10” gong) in the pool area as a deficiency replacement.
All aforementioned bells have Edwards 802-2B remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 1.5cd) mounted next to them, in all areas except for the basement and tunnel.
There is a Mircom “Select-a-Horn/Strobe” FHS-340R horn/strobe (red, wall-mount, set to continuous electromechanical/15cd) in the mens’ locker room as a deficiency replacement.
