VIC overnight fire alarm testing Mar. 12 - 13

March 11, 2025

Facilities Management and Development (“Facilities”) has been upgrading the existing fire alarm system in the Victoria Building (VIC) to increase its lifespan, improve detection and ensure compliance with the fire code. To ensure the system is working correctly, testing of the fire alarm system is required. 

To minimize the disruption to activities in the building, the testing has been scheduled to take place from 10 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12 to 12 a.m. on Thursday, March 13.

How this may impact you

During the testing, the fire alarm’s audible and visual signals will be activated intermittently. 

Work will conclude by 12 a.m. on March 13 and all systems will return to normal.

If you are aware of activities taking place in VIC during testing periods, please advise impacted individuals that fire alarm testing will occur while they’re in the building.
