RTI INTERNATIONAL EXPANDING
RTI International. RTI International is a think tank known throughout the world. It has 2,100 employees in the Triangle and another 500 spread throughout 40 other nations of the world. It is the second largest nonprofit think tank in the U.S. The Largest, Battelle, is based in Columbus, Ohio. RTI’s rapid expansion comes with a price. They are about to spend $100 million on their 180 acre campus to add more space, renovate existing space, relocate 600 workers who now work in leased space in buildings outside their campus and accommodate 100 additonal workers per year. RTI, for the most part, provides services for federal government agencies. For example, last year they received two contracts totaling $230 million to devise better ways to deal with tropical diseases and to control malaria.
