FACILITIES

The Charles B. Wang Center, celebrating Asian and American cultures, is designed as a vital space for multidisciplinary and multicultural dialogues. The 120,000-square-foot building was officially presented to Stony Brook University by Charles B. Wang on October 22, 2002. The Wang Center is used for conferences, art exhibits, film festivals, lectures, seminars, and performances. It is open to all Stony Brook students, faculty, and staff as well as the surrounding community.
It includes exhibit spaces, an inter-denominational chapel, an Asian food court, a theater, two lecture halls, a series of interior and exterior pools and terraces, and more than 35,000 square feet of sprawling gardens. A fiber optic network will enable students and professors at Stony Brook to exchange ideas across the world in real time, regardless of their physical location.
