Lactation Room Use Guidelines

  1. Jacksonville State University (JSU) has established lactation rooms to further support the needs of women who may wish to continue breastfeeding after they return to work and/or school from maternity leave. This is one way that the University supports the mothers in its community and upholds its commitment as a Family Friendly Workplace and educational environment.
  2. The lactation room offers a dedicated comfortable, private, quiet space for nursing mothers to pump their breast milk during their time at JSU. The room contains two comfortable chairs, refrigerator, sink, electrical outlets, and cleaning supplies.
