Lactation Rooms
The University of Cincinnati provides designated Lactation Rooms across campus to faculty, staff, students, and visitors in need of a private space to express milk or nurse. These rooms all lock from the inside, offer electrical outlets for breast pumps, and provide a comfortable place to sit.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires employers to provide reasonable break time for an employee to express milk for their nursing child for one year after the child's birth each time such employee has the need to express milk. Employers are also required to provide a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express milk. For more information regarding this policy at UC please visit the Labor Relations and Policy Department.
If you have questions or concerns about accessing lactation rooms on campus, call the UC Women's Center at 513-556-4401. For more information about University policies and resources for pregnant and parenting faculty, staff, and students under Title IX contact the Office of Equal Opportunity at 513-556-3349.
