- Visitors must have a CMU sponsor to use the space.
- These rooms are not scheduled, and multiple nursing individuals have access to the space. Please use the "Lactation Room in Use" Door Sign [pdf] to identify that the room is in use.
- Carnegie Mellon does not provide pumping equipment. Should you choose to leave any items in the room, know that these are not the responsibility of Carnegie Mellon.
