Lactation Resources
The Office of Equity will serve as the primary point of contact for lactation spaces on the CU Denver | CU Anschutz campuses. Our office will work with you to get connected to resources that best suit your needs.
If you are bringing a visitor to campus who needs lactation access, direct arrangements for space accessibility will be made for the visitor depending on campus location for the event/conference/meeting. To coordinate appropriate arrangements for visitors needing lactation access, email the OE at equity@ucdenver.edu.
