I recently visited a massive archival preservation facility that was completed in 1996. The building features a striking design and comprises three floors of storage vaults along with one floor of preservation laboratories, located above the vaults. To my surprise, the building is protected by a Notifier system; I wasn’t expecting to see this brand in a large government-owned facility from this era as EST and Simplex were more common in these types of applications. While I didn’t see the panel, I assume it was originally an AM2020.
The pull stations are Notifier NFM-950s, and the signals are Notifier KMS-series bells (black bulhorn-style speakers are mounted above the bells):
Many bells and pull stations are mounted on unique architectural poles (the bell shown here happens to be an Edwards MB6-24—the only one I saw in the building):
Interestingly, similar poles were used for the devices (Siemens pull stations and U-MMT horn/strobes) in one of the buildings at my university. The building in question was completed in 2001 and was designed by the same architect who designed the preservation facility (Ron Keenberg of IKOY Architects).
The smoke detectors are a mix of Notifier SDX-551s and CPX-551s (in some cases, both are used within the same area):
The annunciator in the main lobby consists of six LED modules and a remote microphone mounted in a custom freestanding enclosure (apologies for the awful photo—I didn’t think of getting a better one, so this one is cropped from a much larger photo of the lobby):
The facility also featured a multitude of (likely fascinating) specialized detection and suppression systems with which I’m completely unfamiliar.
