The Major Modernization Project

The Major Modernization Project
July 2008

The Major Modernization Project Phase I is nearing completion. We are scheduled for, the first of two, New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) site visits in July. Standard within the health care industry, the NYSDOH reviews all aspects of the construction project for accordance with safety and architectural code compliance. The Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony have been set for September 4th from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Here all employees and the public will have the opportunity to tour the new areas. With enthusiasm, we are well on our way to opening a modern and beautiful new addition to Stony Brook University Medical Center. The Project Office has provided the following progress photos:

The Emergency Department

Within the new Emergency Department, millwork/cabinetry, lighting fixtures and flooring have all been installed.

The Surgical Suite

Demolition is taking place in order to connect the existing OR Suite to the newly constructed areas. Skytron ® medical equipment, surgical flooring and stainless steel casework have been installed.
