Designed to inspire
Mercer began its footprint in Columbus in 2012 through clinical partnerships with Piedmont Columbus Regional’s Midtown Campus and St. Francis Hospital. That foundation expanded into a full four-year MD program with the opening of our innovative medical school campus in 2021.
Spanning 77,000 square feet, the Columbus campus includes everything today’s medical students and faculty need to thrive—high-tech classrooms, a simulation center, an anatomy lab, and a dedicated medical library. Research and innovation take center stage on the second floor, where advanced laboratories are equipped with cutting-edge technology.
