This morning, members of the Darden team had the opportunity to attend the State of the College Breakfast and Presentation at Fresno City College! 🎓

It was great to hear about the College’s accomplishments, priorities, and vision for the future and to connect with fellow community and education partners who share a commitment to supporting student success throughout the Central Valley.

Thank you to Fresno City College for bringing our community together and sharing what’s ahead. We’re excited to see the continued impact FCC will have on its students and our region!

A little behind-the-scenes action from last night's photo shoot at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium at Buchanan High School! 📸🏟️

Darden completed this project many years ago, but great design stands the test of time and some projects are definitely worth going back for a fresh look.

We’re excited to capture new images of this Clovis Unified landmark and showcase how the stadium continues to serve students, athletes, and the community years after its completion.

🏈🎓 College Day at Darden!

Today we celebrated College Day at Darden and the unofficial kickoff to football season! Our team represents graduates and fans from several colleges and universities, but there’s no denying the Red Wave runs strong through our office! ❤️💙

We marked the occasion with plenty of school spirit, a team potluck and, most importantly, some good old-fashioned camaraderie.

Now the big question… who are you rooting for this season? 🏈🙌

👋 Welcome to the Team, Tyler!
We’re excited to welcome Tyler to Darden Architects!

A licensed architect and graduate of NewSchool of Architecture & Design in San Diego, Tyler is originally from Tulare and returned to the Central Valley after graduation to be closer to family and build his career here.

After gaining experience at a few other architecture firms throughout the Valley, Tyler found his way to Darden. He is drawn by something that has always mattered to him: design.

As Tyler put it, “Everyone knows a Darden design, and I wanted to be part of that team.”

We love hearing that. Welcome to Darden, Tyler! We’re glad to have you on the team and look forward to seeing the creativity and experience you bring to our projects.
