Stony Brook's reach extends from its 1,039-acre campus on Long Island's North Shore–encompassing the main academic areas, an 8,300-seat stadium and sports
complex and Stony Brook Medicine–to Stony
Brook Manhattan, a Research and Development Park, four business
incubators including one at Calverton, New York, and the Stony
Brook Southampton campus on Long Island's East End. Stony Brook also
co-manages Brookhaven National Laboratory, joining Princeton, the University of Chicago, Stanford, and the University of
California on the list of major institutions involved in a
research collaboration with a national lab. And Stony Brook is still growing. To the students, the scholars, the health professionals, the entrepreneurs and all the valued members who make up the vibrant Stony Brook community, this is a not only a great local and national university, but one that is making an impact on a global scale. |
