Guidelines for Lactation Room Use
- You are responsible for working with your supervisor to arrange for break time to pump and may contact the Office of Human Resources for questions regarding break time.
- Visitors must have a CMU sponsor to use the space.
- Lactation rooms are to be used for the sole purpose of expressing milk. If rooms are found to be used by individuals requesting access for purposes other than that listed here, access may be revoked.
- 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.
- Please keep the space neat and orderly. If you notice that dispensers are out of stock or if there is a cleaning issue, please report the issue to Equal Opportunity Services.
