Growing Pains is a series that explores the changing campus of Mercer University. Over the years, Mercer has significantly increased in student population, and with that increase came concerns about parking, housing and crime on campus, along with other topics of interest. This series examines these aspects of campus and looks to see where Mercer plans to go as a university.

The four-story center opened to students on the first day of the semester, with 60 teaching and research labs, 46 offices and seven lecture rooms.
