Facilities
At Mercer, you will find a law school that is
self-contained in a beautiful, three-story building that was designed
as a reproduction of Independence Hall.
A Picturesque Setting
The Walter F. George School of Law building sits atop Coleman Hill,
overlooking downtown Macon. It is a picturesque icon of Mercer’s
rich tradition as one of America’s oldest law schools. As
a student here, you will take advantage of the facilities and amenities
provided not only by the School of Law, but by Mercer
University as well, located a short walk up College Street.
Contemporary Resources
The Furman Smith Law Library is
utilized by lawyers and judges across Georgia and features computer
labs, multimedia outlets, private study carrels, and more than 80
network drops for laptop connections. Additionally, the building
features wired classrooms, student office space, and one of the
nation’s finest moot courtrooms.
The University Center
The University Center
was completed in the spring of 2004 and offers the most cutting-edge
fitness and recreational facilities. Some of these include:
- A full-sized arena for Mercer’s varsity
basketball programs
- Additional basketball and volleyball courts
for intramurals
- An indoor swimming pool
- Aerobics facilities
- Weight rooms
- Training rooms
- An elevated running track
- Heritage Hall
- The Street (a skylit indoor street with café-style
seating)
- A coffee shop
- Retail shops and dining
- Concession stands
- Faculty and coach offices
- The President’s Dining Room
- The Griffin B. Bell Trustee Boardroom
Living and Parking
While the school provides an abundance of free parking, many students

School of Law.
