Mother’s Rest Room:
The Mother’s Rest Room provides a private comfortable space where Pregnant, Post-Natal or Breastfeeding women can rest or express and store milk.
The University recognises that staff and students who are pregnant may suffer from fatigue and may wish to rest for a short period during their day. The Mothers Rest Room is available to such individuals who wish to access rest facilities. Please note the Mothers’ Rest Room is not a medical facility and not designed to accommodate or support pregnant staff or students who may be unwell.
