Explore the heart of Michigan’s Central Campus: the Diag. This is where the iconic Block M is located, as well as some of the oldest and most beautiful buildings on campus: the Hatcher Graduate Library, the UgLi, Angell Hall, the Chemistry Building, and the Dana Building. And just off the Diag is Ingalls Mall, home of the Burton Memorial Tower and Baird Carillon, Hill Auditorium, Rackham Graduate School, and the Michigan League.
The Hatcher Graduate Library offers a wealth of resources in traditional as well as digital formats, encompassing more than 8.5 million print volumes and one of the finest digital collections in the world.

The library facility includes the Askwith Media Library, the Design Lab Workshop, Perlstein Editing Room, the Sweetland Center for Writing, and the Knox Adaptive Technology Center, among others. The building also includes study spaces and Bert's Cafe and Study Lounge.
Designed by renowned architect Albert Kahn, Angell Hall is a blend of Greek and Roman architectural motifs and is one of the most iconic image of the U-M campus.

On U-M's Diag, the building houses LSA classrooms and offices.
