Stony Brook’s reach extends from its 1,100-acre campus on Long Island’s North Shore – encompassing the main academic areas, an 8,300-seat stadium and sports
complex, a performing arts center, Stony Brook University Medical
Center, the Health Sciences Center, and the Veterans Home – to Stony
Brook Manhattan, a new Research and Development Park, three business
incubators including one at Calverton, New York, and the new Stony
Brook Southampton campus on Long Island’s East End. Stony Brook also
co-manages Brookhaven National Laboratory, joining Princeton, Cornell,
the University of Chicago, Stanford, and the University of
California-Berkeley as the only 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. |
