Lactation Rooms-Facilities for Nursing Mothers

Lactation

Georgetown University provides several clean, comfortable spaces designated for nursing mothers to pump while they have to be away from their babies due to work or school. Each room accommodates 2-3 women at one time and are available for any GU staff, faculty, or student with a valid GUID.  In all locations, nursing mothers will need to provide their own pump. Storage of personal belongings or milk in the room is not permitted.

MAIN CAMPUS LOCATIONS

There are two lactation rooms (aka Mother’s rooms) on Main Campus:

  • Car Barn Lactation Room The room (CB-306-D) is available Monday through Friday, from 7:30am until 9:00pm, and the Car Barn is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
