Standing in front of two boats—one adorned with a banner sporting the logo for Stony Brook University’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences—elected officials, students, faculty and members of the community at large gathered on Friday afternoon in Shinnecock Hills to celebrate the groundbreaking for a new multimillion-dollar Marine Sciences Center to be constructed at Stony Brook Southampton.
The Stony Brook Marine Sciences Center, which will replace three old buildings on Little Neck Road, off Old Fort Pond and just south of the main campus, has a price tag of about $8.35 million—a cost that will be mostly borne by New York State, according to James Montalto, the media relations manager for Stony Brook University. The state will be paying $6.9 million, he said.
