We engineer impactful systems, solutions, art installations, and products with and for the community, building the circular economy that serves the community. It is our mission to foster omni-considerate solutions for a kind, creative, and sustainable future for all species and their environments. 

We incubate Sacramento Creative leaders and pilot innovative local community solutions to lead us to a kind, equitable, sustainable, and creative future. Sacramento's hub for creatives to gather, brainstorm, connect, and test possible sustainable solutions is in historic Old Sacramento, open to creatives and the public five days a week. Atrium 916 serves over 850 local creatives in the greater Sacramento region, providing crucial support and testing grounds for sustainable solutions to flourish. 

We pilot, test, and build systems that drive impact and solve problems sustainably. We are the doers who come to the table with community-driven solutions and the capability to implement them. Atrium 916 is a hub of people, creativity, ideas, and solutions that accelerate the circular economy.
