Clements]] became chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee, leading to Albert Kahn's growing influence in the university's architectural development. Clements, impressed by Kahn's work on his industrial projects and residence in [[Bay City, Michigan|Bay City]], awarded him multiple university commissions and appointed him as the university's supervising architect. The West Engineering Hall (1910), Natural Science Building (1915), and General Library (1920) were all designed by Kahn. During a period of limited construction funding, these structures exhibited a simple design with minimal ornamentation. However, Kahn's [[Hill Auditorium]] (1913), adequately funded by Regent Arthur Hill, features extensive Sullivanesque ornamentation and excellent acoustic design, which was rare for that period.<ref name = "nom" /> [[File:Front_of_Angell_Hall.jpg|thumb|[[James Burrill Angell Hall]] on Central Campus serves as a major academic building for the [[College of Literature, Science, and the Arts]]]] Beginning in 1920, the university received greater funding for construction projects, thanks to president Burton's fiscal persuasiveness with the legislature, propelled by a prosperous economy. This allowed campus buildings to be constructed in a grand manner. Kahn's Italian Renaissance [[Clements Library]] (1923), Classical Greek [[Angell Hall]] (1924), and Art Deco [[Burton Memorial Tower]] (1936) all feature unusual and costly materials and are considered some of his most elegant university buildings. The last of Kahn's university commissions was the Ruthven Museums Building (1928), designed in the Renaissance style.<ref name = "nom" /> Other architects who contributed to the Central Campus include [[Spier & Rohns]], who designed Tappan Hall (1894) and the West Medical Building (1904); [[SmithGroup|Smith, Hinchman and Grylls]], the architects of the Chemistry Building (1910) and East Engineering Building; and [[Perkins, Fellows & Hamilton Office and Studio|Perkins, Fellows and Hamilton]], who designed University High School (1924). The [[Michigan Union]] (1919) and Michigan League (1929), completed by alumni [[Irving Kane Pond]] and [[Allen Bartlit Pond]], house the university's various student organizations. Alumni Memorial Hall, funded by contributions from alumni in memory of the university's Civil War dead, was completed by [[Donaldson and Meier]]. It was designated as the [[University of Michigan Museum of Art|University Museum of Art]] in 1946.<ref name = "nom" /> The area just south of The Diag is predominantly Gothic in character, contrasting with the classical designs prevalent in many of Kahn's university buildings. The [[Martha Cook Building]] (1915), completed by [[York and Sawyer]], [[Samuel Parsons]], and [[George A. Fuller]] in 1915, draws inspiration from England's [[Knole House]] and [[Aston Hall]]. It was one of the university’s early women’s residences. York and Sawyer also designed the Law Quadrangle, which features a flagstone courtyard by landscape architect Jacob Van Heiningan. The Lawyers' Club, part of the quadrangle, includes a clubhouse, dining hall, and dormitory, modeled after English clubs with an [[Elizabethan architecture|Elizabethan-style]] lounge and a dining hall inspired by the chapels of [[Eaton Hall, Cheshire|Eaton]]. The Law Library's main reading room showcases craftsmanship from the [[Riverside Church|Rockefeller Church of New York]]. Following its completion, nearby buildings like the School of Education Building, by [[Malcomson and Higginbotham]], and Emil Lorch's Architecture and Design Building adopted Gothic elements reflecting the style of the Law Quadrangle and Martha Cook Residence.<ref name = "nom" /> The Central Campus is the location of the [[University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts|College of Literature, Science and the Arts]]. Most of the graduate and professional schools, including the [[University of Michigan Law School|Law School]], [[Ross School of Business]], [[Gerald R.
