The 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition Kickoff, themed STEAMworks, will be held at Stony Brook University's Jacob K. Javits Lecture Center. 

Stony Brook University is located at 100 Nicolls Road, Stony Brook, NY 11794

Driving Directions: Long Island Expressway (LIE, I-495) to exit 62 north, and follow Nicolls Road (Route 97) north for 9 miles. There are three entrances to the university's west campus on your left.

For Buses: Use the first entrance on the left to the University - the South Entrance. Proceed to the first traffic light and turn right onto Marburger Drive. Travel one-half mile. At the round-about, go straight across.  Marburger Drive becomes Circle Road.  At the 4th stop, turn right onto Campus Drive.  Bear right, following Campus Drive for 2/10 mile to a circle. This is the drop-off and pick-up point.

Bus parking will be in the Faculty/Staff Parking Lot on the right as you exit from the circle.  At the time of pick-up, if you leave the lot via the rear exit, turn left onto the street, and turn left again at the stop sign, you will be on Campus Drive with the circle ahead of you.

For Cars/Trucks/SUVs/Vans: You can follow the same directions as the busses, and park in the same lot.  Or, you can use the second entrance on the left to the University - the Main Entrance. Proceed straight through the traffic light.  The parking garage will be on your left. There is no charge to park there.
