Supporting the lactation needs of nursing mothers
¹ÏÉñÍø provides lactation rooms and reasonable break time for employees and students to express breast milk, for up to 12 months after the birth of a child.
What is a lactation room?
Lactations rooms are private spaces on campus for nursing moms to pump that should be:
- Appropriately functional (not a bathroom)
- Shielded from view and free from intrusion of coworkers or the public
Using the Lactation Rooms
Employees & Students must:
- Coordinate with your supervisor or class instructor time needed for lactation
- Reserve the lactation room in locations that are marked with an asterisk. Other rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Follow any rules or procedures per lactation room
Supervisors & Class Instructors must:
- Permit reasonable paid break time or time away from class for nursing mothers to use lactation rooms as needed.
- Be aware that the frequency and duration of the break time will likely vary.
