American University provides rooms to support nursing parents returning to work, school, or campus. Any nursing parent who is an American University community member (faculty, staff, student, contract employee) or their spouse or domestic partner can use any of the lactation rooms.

Each room offers a clean, secure, and private space for parents who need to express breast milk during their time on campus. All rooms are equipped with comfortable seating, table, and ample electrical outlets near the chair.

Some rooms contain refrigerators and sinks. If a sink is not in the room itself, there will be one close by. Nursing parents will need to provide their own pump. If you use a room where a refrigerator is not provided, we recommend that you bring a small cooler to store your breast milk. American University is not responsible for the security or integrity of breast milk stored in or outside of the lactation room refrigerator.

All lactation room users are expected to clean up after each use of a room. Each user should allow enough time within a visit to clean spills and dispose of trash properly.

Below is a list of rooms and details about location, access, and accommodations for each. Please contact the appropriate room manager for registration prior to use.
