The renovation of the Labor and Delivery Unit on the fourth floor of University Tower has forced the closure of the lactation room.

Due to the secure nature of the Labor and Delivery Unit, the new room may be located in a different area to accommodate staff from other units and offices within University Tower. You can access this page to see the available lactation rooms on the UNMC campus. You may have to call ahead.
