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.
