GK Engineers provided full MEP design for a new church for St. Peter / San Pedro Episcopal Church in Pasadena, with three brick towers, an annex and a community center building on the congregation’s existing campus. Design ran from the August 2023 permit set through bidding and two rounds of City of Pasadena permit revisions to issue for construction in August 2025.

The fire protection design adds a fire pump room and an on-site fire tank, coordinated by GK with the sprinkler contractor and civil engineer, with two remote fire department connections. Each building has its own utility transformer and service, and plumbing uses wall-hung flush valve fixtures, a three-phase water heater with recirculation and non-freeze wall hydrants.

GK is carrying construction administration through regular owner, architect and contractor meetings, covering RFIs, submittals, transformer placement site visits and the fire tank tie-in, with occupancy targeted for early 2027.
