Commuter Lounges

Whether your commute is two hours or five minutes, there is a home for you on campus! The newly renovated Commuter Lounge, officially named “The Pit Stop” is a “home away from home” for commuter students at Stony Brook! This lounge, which came to fruition in partnership with the Office of Student Life, the Faculty Student Association, and the Undergraduate Student Government, is a direct reflection of the vision our students shared about a space where they could relax, recharge and connect with other Seawolves.

Located in the center of West Campus, on the first floor of the Melville Library, this location features comfortable seating spaces, charging stations, vending machines and is open to all members of our campus community to enjoy. During the academic year, the Pit Stop is open every day from 6am to 2am (this space reopens, following maintenance, between 5 and 6am.) Please note that hours are modified during winter and summer intersessions. Summer 2024 (5/19-8/18) hours: 10am - 6pm, daily. 

Also, if you need a laptop, you can borrow one from next door at the Melville Library SINC Site: it.stonybrook.edu/services/student-laptop-loaner-program
