Warner Robins Air Logistics Center

The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center is the largest entity housed at Robins Air Force. In 1983, the WRALC and Mercer began discussions about the critical need for engineers at the WRALC. As a result, the University established the School of Engineering in 1985 and Mercer Engineering Research Center in 1987. The educational partnership was formally renewed in 2004. The relationship continues to grow with the addition of Mercer’s Science and Engineering Building, which opened fall 2007. Today, Mercer is the WRALC’s largest source of engineers.
