Lactation Rooms
Congratulations on embarking on your breastfeeding journey!
Modesto Junior College understands the importance and benefits of breast feeding for babies and mothers. We support breastfeeding by providing two clean, private & safe lactation rooms for mothers to nurse, or pump milk while on campus. Each room contains a comfortable chair, table, sink, and electrical outlets for use.
Lactation Room Locations:
- East Campus / Founders Hall – 2nd Floor – Center lobby/landing. East Campus Map
- West Campus / Mary Stuart Rogers – Corridor adjacent to meeting rooms, across from Convenience Store. West Campus Map
Access:
Please contact Health Services at 209-575-6038 to obtain door code to the Lactation Rooms during normal business hours. If you are unable to reach Health Services, please contact Campus Safety at 209-575-6351.
Guidelines for use:
- The lactation room is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- Mothers using the space are responsible for providing their own breast pump, storage
containers and/or other equipment needed.
- Neither a pump nor refrigerator is provided.
- It is the responsibility of each mother using the lactation room to clean up after
themselves.
- This serves not only to respect other users, but to prevent contamination and illness transmission.
- Custodial staff will clean the room nightly as part of the regular cleaning schedule.
- If the room needs attention:
- Please contact Health Services at 209-575-6038 during normal business hours.
- After hours and on weekends please contact Campus Safety at 209-575-6351.
