State University of New York (SUNY) Stony Brook Stony Brook University SeaWolf Village Modular Housing Project

Located in Stony Brook, New York, this fast-tracked development responds to projected enrollment growth by expanding on-campus housing capacity. The project utilizes modern modular construction techniques to deliver high-quality dormitory units to maximize efficiency and minimize delivery timelines.

The development includes five two-story dormitory buildings and two support buildings featuring lounges, laundry facilities, offices, and kitchens. A centralized utility building contains electrical distribution systems and natural gas-powered emergency generators. All structures are composed of prefabricated modular units delivered with completed interiors and exteriors to streamline on-site assembly. Foundations are constructed using concrete-filled dry-stack block piers over cast-in-place round footings, with crawlspace slabs provided to support long-term maintenance access.

The site required extensive infrastructure upgrades to support the new facilities, including installation of new sanitary sewer, water, gas, electrical, and drainage systems. The sanitary system connects to the Suffolk County Department of Public Works (SCDPW) sewer network, while stormwater is managed on-site through a system of leaching basins integrated into a closed drainage network. Electrical and gas utilities have been routed to a centralized support facility to simplify distribution.

GPI led the initial feasibility study and preliminary engineering for site utility design, including sanitary sewer, water, electric, drainage, and gas systems. GPI is also providing ongoing construction support services, including coordination of modular unit delivery, site staging, crane operations, and heavy equipment access. Additionally, GPI supported the design of site grading, ADA-compliant access, fire lanes, and pedestrian pathways to ensure code compliance and construction efficiency, and is currently performing weekly Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) inspections.
