A lactation room is now available in the Medical Center Library! This dedicated space provides a clean, secure, and user-friendly environment for nursing parents who need to pump or nurse during their time on campus. The room is equipped with comfortable seating, electrical outlets, and privacy features; users must bring their own pumps. This initiative aligns with the library’s commitment to supporting the health and well-being of the Duke community.
The lactation room is 104B Seeley Mudd building. This is Level 1 of the library, located near the computer classroom.
