“The Atlantic Team treated us like family. There was never a time I couldn't get a question answered nor did I ever feel like my questions were silly or off base even though I am certain they were! The design team, install team, sales team, you name it... They were all professional, knowledgeable, and quick. Our project has made this campus a place of pride for all of us. Even after the project was complete, the Atlantic Crew continued to communicate and assist with anything we needed.”

Angela Jensen - General Manager | Concordia University of Wisconsin
“ Atlantic truly understands that the dining hall is more than just a cafeteria—it’s an extension of the classroom. They helped create a space that fosters social-emotional learning and encourages meaningful interactions among students. Their attention to detail and understanding of how the built environment impacts student well-being has transformed our dining hall into a vibrant and supportive community space with an enriched food service program. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result.”

Teddy J. Capozzo-O’Rourke - Executive Director of Operations | Ethical Culture Fieldston School
The Atlantic Team truly went above and beyond for our project. They arrived on-site as scheduled and completed the installation in even less time than anticipated. Their willingness to collaborate with our contractor made the entire equipment and casework installation process incredibly smooth. When an issue arose on-site, they quickly found a solution, even adding a counter piece that seamlessly matched the surrounding finishes. After completion, they returned to address punch list items, and scheduling the team was hassle-free. Since then, we've chosen to work with Atlantic on several more projects, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding.”
