We have a fire alarm test every Monday at 8:50am. This is monumentally annoying, but probably less obnoxious for us than for the undergrads who are trying to sleep in. Hah.
One thing I've discovered is that when the alarm goes off, the elevators (yeah, "lifts," whatever) automatically descend to the ground floor. The last two weeks I've managed to get into one just as the alarm began to ring, which gives me a nice uncrowded ride directly to the bottom to go to class. So the trick is to time it so that you get into the elevator right at 8:50, because if you try it any later you'll have to take the stairs. Of course, now my secret is out and I'll have to find new ways to avoid sharing those tiny metal booths with people.
