Darden Architects was honored to receive the Harold Zinkin Entrepreneur of the Year Award for 2022. We are thankful to the Fresno Chamber of Commerce for administrating this award program and are proud to be considered among the other award recipients. We are not aware of who nominated our firm, but we are humbled by this recognition. Darden Architects has been a staple of the A/E/C industry in the central valley for over 60 years and our success is thanks to the lasting relationships we have built with our clients and consultants. On behalf of all the staff at Darden Architects, past and present, we thank you for this award.
