East Tennessee State University provides two lactation rooms on campus (Student Center and Library) for faculty, staff, students, and visitors . The lactation room provides equipment and space to new mothers who are breastfeeding their baby and need a quiet, safe space to pump milk. The room is located on the 2nd floor of the D.P. Culp Student Center and the 4th floor of Sherrod Library (see campus map).  The secure, clean, lockable, private rooms contain a soft seated chair, hand sanitizer, paper towels, Clorox wipes, trash can, baby changing table, and sink for use.
