A Columbia native and a graduate of Clemson University, Kendall started in the construction business in Greenville in 1973. He has led the Argo Division since joining M. B. Kahn in 1993. His portfolio includes the Greenville Main Library, the Byrnes High School Fine Arts Center, Riverside High School, Eastside High School, the Caterpillar facility at Southchase and the parking structure at the CU-ICAR campus.
Kendall, who will remain as a consult for Argo, said the library project was his most enjoyable because of the collaboration it took with so many partners.
“It was a great job. A great approach. And a great delivery,” he said.
