The new Medical and Research Translation Building (MART) which began construction in 2013, is scheduled to open in 2016 near the university Health Science Center (pictured right) and Hospital, and will greatly expand medical research capabilities at Stony Brook. The $194 million building will be comprised of 8-floors in 245,000 square feet of space on the Stony Brook University Medical Campus. Along with a new Bed-Tower that will house cancer patients, researchers and physicians working together in the MART will focus largely on cancer research and treatment.
