| The McGregor Memorial Conference Center, Education Building, Helen L. DeRoy Auditorium, and Prentis Building at Wayne State University were designed by Minoru Yamasaki. They were built in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The Richard Cohn Memorial Building was designed by Harley, Ellington & Day and built in 1959. Shapero Hall was designed by Paulsen, Gardner & Associates and built in 1965. I don't have information about the Art Building but it appears to be from the 1950s or 1960s.
