Radiation Safety Lab Renovation

Department
Campus Planning, Design & Construction (CPDC)

Overview
This project transformed an outdated, unused X-ray generator laboratory in the Life Sciences Building into a modern training and calibration facility for Stony Brook’s Radiation Safety program. The space underwent a complete renovation, including the removal of obsolete X-ray equipment and specialized infrastructure, along with new finishes, lighting, plumbing and work surfaces.

Key Highlights

Repurposed an unused X-ray laboratory into a modern Radiation Safety training and calibration facility
Removed obsolete X-ray equipment and lead-lined doors to prepare the space for its new use
Installed new epoxy flooring, ceiling and lighting systems
Added a new sink and work surface to support training and equipment calibration
Rehabilitated existing campus space to support current program and operational needs

Impact
Radiation Safety, a program within Environmental Health & Safety, supports the safe use and management of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation for medical and research applications. The renovated laboratory provides a dedicated space for calibrating radiation detection equipment used by Stony Brook University, Stony Brook University Hospital and local municipal response organizations. These calibrations help support regulatory compliance and requirements associated with the University’s New York State Radioactive Materials License.

Project Completed Summer 2026
