Central Campus was the original location of U-M when it moved to Ann Arbor in 1837.
It originally had a school and dormitory building (where Mason Hall now stands) and several houses for professors on 40 acres (16 ha) of land bounded by North University Avenue, South University Avenue, East University Avenue, and State Street.
The President's House, located on South University Avenue, is the oldest building on campus as well as the only surviving building from the original 40-acre (16 ha) campus.
Because Ann Arbor and Central Campus developed simultaneously, there is no distinct boundary between the city and university, and some areas contain a mixture of private and university buildings.
Residence halls located on Central Campus are split up into two groups: the Hill Neighborhood and Central Campus.

Central Campus is the location of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, and is immediately adjacent to the medical campus.
Most of the graduate and professional schools, including the Ross School of Business, the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, the Law School and the School of Dentistry, are on Central Campus.
Two prominent libraries, the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library and the Shapiro Undergraduate Library (which are connected by a skywalk), are also on Central Campus.
as well as museums housing collections in archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, zoology, dentistry and art.
Ten of the buildings on Central Campus were designed by Detroit-based architect Albert Kahn between 1904 and 1936.
The most notable of the Kahn-designed buildings are the Burton Memorial Tower and nearby Hill Auditorium.
