Use our breastfeeding and expressing facilities

There are two dedicated breastfeeding and expressing facilities on campus.

These facilities are designed to provide a comfortable and private space for breastfeeding and expressing milk, and to help ease the transition back to work for new mothers, promote the well-being of both parent and child, and uphold our commitment to celebrate diversity and equal opportunity through an inclusive culture.

The two pods feature a comfortable chair with plug sockets and a small table, and can be locked for privacy.
