Lactation/Quiet Room
The Lactation/Quiet Room (L/QR), SZB 2.208, is for UT Austin students, faculty and staff who are lactating or require rest for non-contagious medical reasons.
- Visit the ITO Service Desk in SZB 2.110 to request room access.
- Access to the room is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Please limit room use to an hour.
- Monday through Thursday • 8:00 a.m. – 6:45 p.m.
- Friday • 8:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m.
Hours will be limited when the ITO Service Desk is closed for University holidays, weekends and session breaks.
Room Resources
The room contains a chair, table space, refrigerator, electrical outlets, a door lock and an Ameda Elite breast pump. Please note people who are lactating will need to bring their own compatible collection kits. Breastfeeding support, services and supplies are a covered benefit for employees enrolled in the UT Select Medical Plan. The University of Texas at Austin and its affiliates are not responsible for lost or damaged items stored in the refrigerator.
Room Cleaning
Please leave the room in clean condition. Notify the Student Services Center in 2.110 if additional cleaning is needed.
Use of Room During Work Hours
You need to obtain your supervisor’s approval to be away from your workstation during your usual work hours. If you do not want to tell your supervisor that you are using the L/QR during work hours, you will need to take accrued leave time to do so.
