LACTATION AND BABY CARE ROOMS

The Faculty Senate adopted a resolution for the provision of lactation space in NCSU facilities on April 21, 2009. The text of the resolution is online and can be accessed by clicking here. NC State is making strides in the provision of lactation and baby care rooms. We now have two permanent facilities, one temporary lactation space, and one in architect's plans on campus:

Talley Student Center - Baby Care Room completed in 2008
5121 SAS Hall (new Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Building) opened May, 2009.
Administrative Services Complex interim solution - dual purpose restroom/lactation room in 100B Admin II. Architect's plans for a dedicated lactation room in Admin II have been drawn and are ready for implementation as soon as budget allows.

A very informative AIA paper outlining best practices for lactation room can be found here.
