The University of Alabama provides nursing mothers’ rooms to support nursing mothers returning to work or school. Each room offers a clean, secure, and private space, other than a bathroom, for women who need to express breast milk during their time on campus. All of the rooms are equipped with a table, chair, and lock from the inside. Individuals should bring with them any needed personal supplies. Users may scan the QR code located in each room to complete a brief survey.

Pregnant Employee Policy
The University’s Pregnant Employee Policy specifies that employees who are nursing mothers will be provided with a reasonable amount of break time to “pump” or otherwise express breastmilk for their nursing child for up to one (1) year after the child’s birth. Review the policy for additional details about an employee’s rights and supervisor responsibilities. Questions about the policy requirement should be directed to your HR Business Partner.
