State St. and South University Ave.
The Diag is a large open space in the middle of the University of Michigan's Central Campus. Originally known as the Diagonal Green, the Diag derives its name from the many sidewalks running near or through it in diagonal directions. By 1850, diagonal paths emerged, created by students and faculty walking from the corners across campus. These were soon covered with boardwalks and the major path became known as the Diag. Many of the University's most frequented buildings are situated around the Diag. the Diag is an area that many students use and depend on to traverse campus, and it is also a place where people come together, as they have since the 1930s.
