Lactation Rooms

Employees of the university who are currently lactating and/or breastfeeding are responsible for requesting and arranging with their supervisor a reasonable break or flexible scheduling time to pump or breastfeed.

Individual users of the rooms must provide their own breast pump and refrigeration for their milk.

Entrance to the lactation rooms will require an access card. Access cards may be obtained from the Employee Solution Center (Formerly HR Solutions Center), AD G008, or by calling 765-285-1834. All lactation rooms will include electrical outlets, a locking door, and chairs for users.

Supervisors are responsible for providing reasonable paid break times each day for lactating and/or breastfeeding employees.

These breaks will be allocated once every 3–4 hours for an estimated time of up to 30 minutes each to pump or breastfeed.

Supervisors must also identify the location of the lactation rooms with a logo, making it easier for lactating and/or breastfeeding employees to locate it for use.

Supervisors are to assist in providing a positive atmosphere of support for lactating and/or breastfeeding employees, and are also encouraged to set up a temporary or permanent lactation space in their area.

If you are a supervisor with a proposed location for this permanent need in mind, contact the Employee Solution Center (Formerly HR Solutions Center), AD G008, or by calling 765-285-1834 to report the room and request necessary signage. Proposed lactation locations cannot include bathroom stalls or temporary storage areas as suitable spaces.
