Lactation Rooms


NC State University promotes work/life balance and supports working parents with the transition back to work following the birth of a child. This includes support of nursing individuals who wish to express milk periodically during the work day. In accordance with provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), upon request, suitable space must be provided for employees who require lactation support. 

NC State has 27 designated lactation rooms across multiple campuses. If you have questions or need assistance with lactation spaces on campus, please contact David Elrod.  See Lactation Support Guidelines for information about the requirements for lactation spaces at NC State and guidelines regarding paid break time, as well as the NC Office of State Human Resources policy.

The NC State Design and Construction Guidelines require that each new or renovated facility of at least 40,000 sq. ft. must have one lockable lactation room, which may be a dual-purpose room. In addition, the NC State Council on the Status of Women, in collaboration with the Architect’s Office and the Office of the Provost, began a project in 2012 to identify space for lactation rooms in existing buildings throughout the campus. The goal is to provide a minimum of one dedicated lactation room in each campus neighborhood.

How to Reserve Lactation Rooms

Some lactation spaces on campus require reservations using a shared Google Calendar, while others will require reaching out to a specific contact in the building. Please see the Google Calendar instructions below, and reach out directly to the contacts listed within the details for each campus space. If you find an outdated contact, please reach out to David Elrod to report.
