Lactation Spaces

Students are permitted to take breaks for lactation/pumping. The Title IX Office can assist in implementing a reasonable modification for lactation breaks for students and in arranging a temporary private room when a permanently designated lactation room is not available.

Lactation Space means a space other than a bathroom, that is clean, shielded from view, free from intrusion from others, and may be used for expressing milk or breast/chestfeeding as needed. The lactation space must be regularly cleaned, have electricity, appropriate seating, a surface sufficient to place a breast pump, and be in reasonable proximity to a sink and running water. For employees, the space must also be in reasonable proximity to the employee’s usual work area and a refrigerator for storing milk.

To see current spaces, visit the Campus Lactation Space Guide maintained by the Women’s Resources Center.
