Campus Parenting Stations

We offer on-site lactation stations to all nursing or pumping parents attending school or working at UW Bothell. The lactation stations provide a private, secure, clean space for you to express your milk.

Additionally, parents of infants or toddlers can find changing stations located throughout campus. Below are the available locations.

Lactation Stations

The University of Washington Bothell offers several Lactation Stations for students, faculty, and staff. Most of these rooms can be reserved through 25Live or Google Calendar and are accessible with your Husky Card. To book a Lactation Station, please select the link for your desired location and follow the instructions. For more information about room logistics, you can visit UW Worklife.
