Our dedicated lactation spaces afford nursing parents a private space to pump and/or nurse their children. It is also available as a wellness room, a quiet room to take a nap, do homework, or just disconnect for a little bit. Both spaces are equipped with a sink, pump, and refrigerator. No appointment or key access necessary – just stop in any time during normal business hours!
- We also manage the lactation space in the Science Building, Room 2088. To gain card access, please first ensure that your Student ID Card is encoded (if you already have access to a locked space on campus such as a music room or lab, please skip to step 2):
- To get your card encoded, contact the Auraria Higher Education Center’s Facilities Services, located on Seventh Street. We recommend calling 303-556-4296 to verify their hours of operation.
- Once your card has been encoded, send a request to Javonne Archibeque at [email protected] with your First & Last name, Institution, ID number, and if you are a student/faculty/ or staff member.
- To locate other lactation spaces on the Auraria Campus, please reference this map.
- Our space has always served as a gathering place for students to relax, study or do homework, and build community. It also serves as a meeting space for student organizations and groups coordinating programming that promotes diversity across campus. Particular emphasis is placed on the issues and concerns of underrepresented populations (e.g. students of color, low-income students, ASSET/DACA students, LGBTQ students, students with disabilities, and non-traditional students).
To request meeting space, please email [email protected]
