The Charles B. Wang Center located at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York that is dedicated to understanding Asian and American cultures, and the interactions of these cultures with other world cultures. The center was completed in 2002, and was designed by P.H. Tuan. Building of the center was funded by Charles B. Wang through a 25 million dollar donation to Stony Brook University, one that was the largest private donation to a SUNY school ever.

The building covers 120,000 square feet (11,000 m²), and is noted for it's interior architecture. The building holds numerous conference halls, classrooms, auditoriums, and plans are underway to build a food court for students. Thus far, the center has been the ___location for numerous presentations, as well as films, and conferences that deal with multicultural issues.
