Lactation Spaces
West Chester University provides lactation spaces to support breastfeeding mothers returning to work, school, or visiting campus. Each room offers a clean, secure, and private space for women who need to express breast milk or nurse while on campus. Individuals should bring any personal supplies needed with them.
Lactation Space Locations
Lactation spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis. With the exception of Student Health Services, rooms are not available to be scheduled ahead of time. Contact Building Contact if there are questions or concerns about lactation spaces on campus.
