Maps of Ann Arbor Astronomy Locations

Ann Arbor

The following is a map of Ann Arbor, Michigan that shows the locations of:

• AH—Angell Hall. This is the new location of monthly meetings held by The University Lowbrow Astronomers (see Angell Hall map below for the location of room G115). There are telescopes on the fifth floor of Angell Hall that are used by the University of Michigan astronomy classes. There is also a planetarium on the third floor. On selected Fridays, the Student Astronomical Society holds open houses during which the public can look through the telescopes and/or visit the planetarium (see the web site for a schedule). (See also the History of the Angell Hall Observatory and a List of Planetariums in the Ann Arbor Area.)
• Denn—Saturday Morning Physics is held in this building.
• Obs—The Detroit Observatory. In spite of the name, the Detroit Observatory is located in Ann Arbor (See also the History of the Detroit Observatory.)
• LSC—Leslie Science Center. Occasionally the University Lowbrow Astronomers hold open houses on the grounds of the Leslie Science Center (for times, see the University Lowbrow Astronomers Open House Schedule).
• MNH—The University of Michigan Museum of Natural History. The Museum of Natural History holds regular planetarium shows.
• EE—The EECS Building (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science).

The Chemistry Building (room 1800 in the Chemistry Building is often used for lectures hosted by the Astronomy Department) is not shown on this map, it is located near the Dennison Building (Denn) and the Museum of Natural History (ExM).

Ingalls Mall is the site for some campus open houses and The Modern Languages Building auditorium 4 is the warming room and alternate location for these campus open houses. These locations are not shown on this map, but they are near the Museum of Natural History (ExM).
