Stony Brook University Institute for Engineering-Driven Medicine

Stony Brook, New York | 61,000 gsf | $52.3 million | 2026 | Targeting minimum of LEED Silver Certification

The new building, serving as home to the Institute for Engineering-Driven Medicine, links Stony Brook University’s strength in advanced data analytics with its pioneering medical engineering program, enabling researchers to solve strategically targeted problems in medicine via interdisciplinary approaches.  The building is designed in accordance with State University Construction Fund “Net Zero Carbon” Program Directive 1B-2.

 

Located within the University’s Research and Development Park, the building will provide research and development labs and advanced imaging and data analytic facilities to support a changing set of needs in areas of disease research leading to the development of new products, devices, and markets in science and technology.

 

More than 100 researchers comprising 12 research groups will be housed in the building, which supports their work with contemporary, flexible laboratories; write-up areas; conference and meeting rooms; collaboration and meeting spaces; a vivarium; offices; and a multi-functional entry lobby suitable for public symposia.  Much of the laboratory space is devoted to highly specialized equipment including a high-performance computer cluster, multi-modal advanced imaging facility, and neuroengineering lab.

 

The building is designed to achieve an ultra-high performance standard for energy conservation, with a projected energy use intensity (EUI) of 119 kBtu/sf-yr and a 45% reduction in energy consumption in contrast to a comparable building baseline model.  Building systems design includes a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) with energy recovery wheels for all-occupant ventilation, air-cooled chillers, and air-to-water heat pumps. The systems are fully electrified to progress toward net-zero-carbon performance as increasingly renewable energy sources are incorporated into the electrical utility grid.  The Institute for Engineering-Driven Medicine building is designed to achieve a minimum of LEED Silver certification in accordance with New York State requirements for new building construction.
