North
Campus is the most contiguous campus, built independently from the
city on a large plot of farm land—approximately 800 acres—that
the university bought in 1952.It is newer than Central Campus, and
thus has more modern architecture, whereas most Central Campus buildings
are classical or gothic in style. The architect Eero Saarinen, based
in Birmingham, Michigan, created one of the early master plans for
North Campus and designed several of its buildings in the 1950s,
including the Earl V. Moore School of Music Building.

University
of Michigan
The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (U of
M, U-M, UM or simply Michigan) is a coeducational public research
university in the state of Michigan. The university was founded
in 1817 in Detroit, about 20 years before the territory of
Michigan officially became a state, and moved to Ann Arbor
in 1837. Today, it is the state's oldest university and the
flagship campus; there are two satellite campuses —
the University of Michigan-Flint and the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
The university is internationally renowned for its academics.
In its last published survey in 1995, the National Research
Council ranked UM third in the United States in a study that
aggregated evaluations of 41 graduate disciplines and is considered
as one of the original eight Public Ivys.
