Adam Mael, graduate coordinator in the College of Engineering, built a LEGO model of the Diag and surrounding buildings on Central Campus. Mael worked on the project off and on over the course of three years. He’s also built other things, including a University of Michigan football helmet and a mosaic of Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard.
