Lactation Program
The Nursing Mother's Lounge is located on the first floor of the Mesa building in Room MB 1101 and is available for use by employees and students at The University of Texas Permian Basin who are nursing mothers.
The University sponsors a lactation space to promote work/life balance for greater morale, satisfaction, and productivity within the University community. Additionally, under the Affordable Care Act, employees may take reasonable break time for purposes of breast feeding and be offered a private setting for this purpose.
The room is NOT intended to provide space to rest for those with medical conditions that are highly contagious from contact with contaminated surfaces, e.g. influenza, stomach viruses, common cold, pink eye, etc. Individuals with those types of medical conditions should rest at home and seek medical care, as appropriate.
