Lactation Rooms

The purpose of the lactation rooms at the University of Oklahoma – Tulsa Schusterman Center is to provide a dedicated comfortable, private, quiet space for nursing mothers to pump their breast milk during their time on campus.  This space will be available to nursing mothers who are students, faculty, or staff members at OU-Tulsa.  Students must register for access through OU-Tulsa Student Affairs, room 1C76; faculty and staff should register for access through Human Resources. Users will be required to provide their own pump and supplies.
