The Biological Sciences Building (BSB) is revolutionizing how biology is taught and learned. The $261 million project brings together the departments of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, as well as the museums of Natural History, Paleontology, and Zoology, in one state-of-the-art facility.
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. The eight majestic Doric columns and classical entablature recall that of a Greek temple, and the facade is decorated with images from Greek mythology, including Pegasus, centaurs, and owls, as well as four bas reliefs that show personifications of Poetry, Art, History, and Science. On U-M's Diag, the building houses LSA classrooms and offices.
The departments of History, Political Science, American Culture, Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) are located in Haven Hall. It is also the home of Services for Students with Disabilities, as well as libraries for DAAS and American Culture.
The U-M's first academic building, Mason Hall was constructed in 1841. It's part of the complex of buildings on the Diag that includes Haven, Angell, and Tisch Halls.
With its rich collections, an active exhibitions program, and sponsorship of ongoing field research, the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology supports teaching and research on Classical, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern archaeology.

As an exhibit museum at a public university, the Kelsey embraces a vigorous public outreach mission, engaging with local residents and visitors of all ages, from kindergarten through retirement, and serves as the headquarters of the U-M's graduate program in Classical Art and Archaeology.
