A Look Back: RDS Office Furniture at Carr Workplaces – Convergence Center (2020)

Carr Workplaces Project 2020

In 2020, RDS Office Furniture was proud to furnish one of the most innovative work environments in Indiana—the Carr Workplaces location inside the Convergence Center for Innovation and Collaboration at Purdue University in West Lafayette.

This project was unlike a traditional office build-out. From the beginning, the vision—led by the Purdue Research Foundation in partnership with Carr Workplaces—was to create a dynamic hub where ideas, industries, and people could come together in meaningful ways. The goal was simple yet powerful: design a space that encourages collaboration, sparks innovation, and supports a wide range of professionals under one roof.

Designing for Flexibility and Collaboration
