    1. Mercy Hall

      For much of the University's history, this building was known as the Administration Building, but it was re-dedicated as Mercy Hall following major renovations in 2002. The original building was constructed when the Sisters of Mercy founded the University in 1924. The building is home to administrative offices, classrooms, computer labs, and faculty offices.

       

      Mercy Hall's lower level contains three classrooms, labs for our Medical Imaging program, our Safety Office, IT Student Help Desk and offices for our Computer Services, Human Resources, and Finance and Administrative Affairs.

       

      The main entrance to the building takes you through a beautiful brass doorway into the main lobby, with its arched ceiling, gothic architecture and marble staircase. This area is a busy hub of activity. Many of the offices students need most regularly, such as Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and the Registrar, can be found on this floor in addition to the chapel.

       

      The second floor was renovated in 2002. It formerly housed the library, but now contains several classrooms. Our University Advancement offices also reside on the second floor near the Founders Room, a lasting tribute to the University's founders, the Religious Sisters of Mercy.

       

      On the third floor you'll find seven classrooms, most of which are designed to accommodate between 10 and 30 students. Also found on this floor are faculty offices, IT staff, Marketing Communications offices, and two computer labs featuring virtualized work stations and state of the art VM ware that are open from early morning to late evening. The fourth floor has four classrooms that provide a beautiful panoramic view of campus.

Though rare at other institutions, MU offers this type of facility for use during undergraduate study.

       

      The main level of the facility contains a computer lab specifically geared toward the sciences. This lab allows access to chemical, biochemical, molecular biology and genetics databases. There are several mobile computers that can be interfaced with biology and chemistry lab instrumentation.

       

      This floor houses the two main science labs which contain all equipment, instrumentation and specimens to teach anatomy & physiology, general biology, botany, and zoology. The labs contain high quality Nikon teaching microscopes, with one for each student.
