RJE Business Interiors was founded in 1991 with a commitment to excellence, community involvement and sustainability. Each year, the company supports 30 different organizations, contributing over $150,000 through in-kind gifts and more than $120,000 in monetary donations. RJE's employees donate their time serving on charitable boards, tutoring at local elementary schools, and lifting up those in need. The company's commitment to sustainability motives the use of environmentally-friendly materials, creating spaces with natural lighting, and facilitating furniture recycling.
In 2004, RJE Business Interiors partnered with CSO Architects, Rowland Design, and HKS Maregatti Interiors to work with the IUPUI to create learning environments that foster student success. Their unique collaboration resulted in three Learning Spaces, which are innovative library spaces for individual and collaborative study. In 2012, the design team finished their final project, Learning Spaces III in the University Library. The partners' work transformed an ordinary-looking library study area into a stimulating, interactive space designed to foster a new kind of learning and exploration.
