The 911 office is most likely retreiving the address off of the line that is
placing the call. Do you have any voice lines in the other buildings?

I would consider a line siege device and FXO attached to a fax or security
system line in the other buildings. Route the dialed 911's out over the
local pots line and they will get the correct address. I don't know if you
can attach an address any other way.

You could try sending a different callerid, but if they are all billed as
being in the main building, that's probably the address they'll get.
