The State University of New York at Stony Brook (also referred to as Stony Brook University, SUNY Stony Brook, Stony Brook, or SBU) is a public sea-grant and space-grant research university located in Stony Brook, New York in the United States. It is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system.
The institution was founded in 1957 in Oyster Bay as State University College on Long Island. What would become the university moved to Stony Brook in 1962.[4] Since its establishment in Stony Brook, the university has expanded to include more than 200 major buildings with a combined area of more than 11 million gross square feet across 1,454 acres of land.[5] In 2001, SUNY Stony Brook was elected to the prestigious Association of American Universities, joining four private universities (Cornell, Columbia, NYU, and Rochester) and one public university (SUNY Buffalo) elsewhere in its state. It is also a member of the larger Universities Research Association for which its president Samuel Stanley is a council president.[6][7]
The university owns Stony Brook Medicine, co-manages the Brookhaven National Laboratory, in 2005 acquired land for a Research & Development Park adjacent to its main campus, and has four business incubators across the region. The university has a regional economic impact of over $4.6 billion annually accounting for nearly 4% of economic activity in eastern Long Island and research expenditures that have surpassed the $200 million mark annually.[8][9]
Stony Brook is the largest single-site employer in Long Island. More than 24,500 students are enrolled at the main campus and it employs over 3,200 faculty and 13,500 staff.[10][11][12]
Its athletic teams, nicknamed the Seawolves, are members of the America East Conference and the Colonial Athletic Association competing at the Division I level of the NCAA since 1994.

History[edit]
Origins in Oyster Bay[edit]
Coe Hall on the original Oyster Bay campus (used 1957-1964)
The State University of New York at Stony Brook was established in Oyster Bay in 1957 as the State University College on Long Island (SUCOLI), by the governor and state of New York. Established almost a decade after the creation of New York’s public higher education system, the institution was envisioned as a college for the preparation of secondary school teachers.[13]
Leonard K. Olson was appointed as the first dean of the institution[14] and was instrumental in the recruitment of faculty staff and planning of the later Stony Brook campus. SUCOLI opened with an inaugural class of 148 students,[13][15] on the grounds of the William Robertson Coe Planting Fields estate. These first students were admitted on a tuition-free basis.
1961 was a year of firsts as thirty students were conferred degrees in the first commencement[16] and the University was appointed its first president, John Francis Lee,.[14] Lee left later that year due to political and bureaucratic matters regarding the future of the University and the central administration at Albany.[17][18] Nevertheless, Lee fulfilled his primary task of reshaping the university from a technical science and engineering college of limited degree options to a full-scale university featuring liberal arts programs.[19]
Move to Stony Brook[edit]
Main alley across the Stony Brook Campus
In 1960 the Heald Report,[20] commissioned by Governor Nelson Rockefeller, recommended a major new public university be built on Long Island to “stand with the finest in the country”, a report that would ultimately shape most of the University’s growth[21] for years to come.
The Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University West Campus
Ward Melville, a philanthropist and businessman from the Three Village area in western Suffolk County donated over 400 acres of land to the state for the development of a state university[15] and in 1962 the institution relocated to Stony Brook[18] and officially renamed as the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
The campus had 782 students enrolled in 1962, and by 1969 enrollment had increased more than tenfold, surpassing the 8,000 mark,[22] fueled by the large funding of public higher education in the Sputnik era. In 1963, only three years after the release of the Heald Report, the Governor commissioned the “Education of Health Professions” (Muir Report) report.[23] The report outlined the need for expansion of the university system to prepare medical professionals for the future needs of the state.[23] The report was particularly important for Stony Brook as it recommended creation of a Health Science Center and academic hospital at the campus to serve the need of the fastest growing counties (Nassau and Suffolk) in New York at the time.[23]
