Lactation Spaces
The Institute acknowledges the need to support employees and students in order to sustain the breastfeeding relationship when they return to work or study. As such, Georgia Tech ensures faculty, staff, and students have access to designated spaces conducive for nursing, breastfeeding, or expressing milk.
Use of the lactation spaces is available during normal business operating hours on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you have any questions regarding the lactation spaces, please contact Georgia Tech Human Resources, Program Manager, HR – Employee Health and Well-being and Engagement, Kimberly Goler-Stubbs, at kgolerstubbs3@gatech.edu.
