Getting to campus and parking your car:

Take Nicolls Road (Route 97) to campus. Nicolls Road is Exit 62 on the L.I.E. (495).  From Nicolls Road, turn into the Stony Brook Main Entrance (West Campus).  Follow the road signs to “Information” and look for the “Stony Brook Main Entrance” sign.

[When coming from the SOUTH, the Main Entrance is the 4th stoplight north of Route 347, and you will need to make a LEFT.  When coming from the NORTH, the Main Entrance is the 2nd stoplight south of Route 25A, and you will need to make a RIGHT.]

As you’re entering the campus, get into the right lane (which will become the middle lane).  Go straight ahead through the stop light and the road will immediately turn to the left.  Enter the Administration Building parking garage. If your lab visit is scheduled during the WEEKEND (i.e., Saturday or Sunday), the entrance gates to the garage will be up, and parking will be free.  If your lab visit is scheduled during the WEEKDAY (i.e., Monday through Friday), you should take a parking ticket as you enter the parking garage.  We will give you a validation sticker to affix to the ticket so you will not have to pay for parking on the way out.

Getting from the parking garage to the Psychology A building:

If your lab visit is on a WEEKEND, park on the ground level of the parking garage, walk out the way you drove in, take a left, and walk along the sidewalk in front of the Administration Building and up the steps.  If your lab visit is on a WEEKDAY, park on the 2nd or 3rd level of the parking garage.  Once parked, use the pedestrian bridge on the 2nd level of the parking garage to get to the Administration Building.  Walk STRAIGHT through the Administration Building to the glass doors on the opposite side.  Exit out of the Administration Building through these doors.

You should see a large water fountain ahead of you (if the water is turned off, the fountain is just a large, round stone pit).  On the far side of the fountain you will see a campus map and the Psychology A Building.  The entrance to the Psychology A Building is across from Melville Library.

Our lab is located at Room 115 on the first floor of the Psychology A Building (which is just past the women’s restroom near the soda vending machine on the right, after you enter the building).  If you have any last-minute issues and need to contact our staff on the day of your scheduled lab visit, please call us at 631-632-4099.
