Stony Brook launches new Facilities Master Plan with community input


Richard L. McCormick Interim President | Stony Brook University

Stony Brook University has embarked on the first phase of its Facilities Master Plan (FMP), a strategic initiative aimed at shaping the campus's future over the next decade. This phase began with an interactive survey, inviting input from students, faculty, and staff about their experiences on campus.

Bill Herrmann, Vice President for Facilities and Services, expressed gratitude for the community's participation: “We’re absolutely thrilled by the incredible response to the FMP survey! On behalf of my team and our partners at Sasaki, thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts and experiences. Your voices are not only heard — they’re vital. Every single response will be carefully reviewed and woven into the planning process as we work together to shape the future of Stony Brook University.”

The plan aims to align physical spaces with Stony Brook's mission and goals, focusing on academic excellence, research, healthcare, technological innovation, cultural enrichment, and community engagement across Long Island.

In partnership with Sasaki, a renowned architecture and planning firm, the Facilities Master Plan Steering Committee will analyze survey data to guide recommendations for development opportunities. The planning process will unfold over 16 months, providing further chances for community involvement.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
