instructorCampus Lactation Centers
The UAB Commission on the Status of Women worked to provide lactation centers on campus. The Shelby Building Lactation Center, located at the rear of the first floor women's restroom, is the first on center on campus located outside of the hospital. It is open to all university faculty, staff and students. Two more sites have opened in the Hill University Center and Mervyn Sterne Library. In addition to the CSW sites, the School of Public Health has allocated space for a lactation center which will be primarily for the school's employees and students, and the School of Dentistry has a lactation center specifically for dental employees and students. Because of the Commission's efforts, UAB is the first in the state to be recognized by the Alabama Breastfeeding Committee as a breastfeeding friendly workplace. The Commission extends a heartfelt thank you to the members of the Lactation Centers Subcommittee, Campus Planning, Human Resources, Media Relations, and the Alabama Breastfeeding Committee for their support and encouragement of this project.
