Notes
In 1957, 200 acres of land were donated to the University of Michigan by Frederick C. Matthaei, Sr. and Mildred Hague Matthaei. This property along with Matteson Farm formed the Botanical Gardens. Alden B. Dow Associates designed the Botanical Gardens complex, which was built between 1959-1965. The property was officially named the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in 1969. Additions were made to the original property holding in 1965, 1970, and 1987.

The building was completed in 1913 and is named after Regent Arthur Hill, who bequeathed more than half the cost of the building. Originally seated an audience of 4,300 and housed the original Frieze Memorial Organ from 1913-1928. When the organ was replaced, the name was retained. The building was renovated from 2002-2004 by Albert Kahn Associates (Project Architects & Engineers) and Quinn Evans/Architects (Historic Preservation Architects).

Cook Legal Research Building (also known as the Legal Research Library or Law Library) was completed in 1931, the third of the four buildings William W. Cook gave to form the Law Quadrangle, built between 1924-1933. In 1955, the original six level stackroom was increased to ten levels. The underground Allan F. and Alene Smith Law Library Addition designed by Gunnar Birkerts Associates was completed in 1981. The additional three original buildings comprising the Law Quadrangle with their construction dates are: the Lawyers' Club, 1924; the John P. Cook Dormitory, 1930; and Hutchins Hall, 1933.
