Modular Offices

Cool-Down, Wellness, and Lactation Rooms

Three rules put small rooms on plant floors: heat-illness prevention wants a cool place to recover, the PUMP Act wants a private, non-bathroom space to express milk, and wellness programs want a quiet room. A small modular room fitted for the purpose satisfies all three faster than construction.

What we quote

How to specify cool-down, wellness, and lactation rooms

A cool-down room is a 10' x 12' or larger insulated room with its own air conditioning, bench seating, and a water station near the hot work. A lactation room is a 6' x 8' or 8' x 8' room with a locking door, an outlet, a chair and table, and an optional sink and mini-fridge, placed so the walk from the line is short. A wellness or quiet room is the same shell with sound-rated panels.

Each is quoted as the room plus the fit-out, so it arrives ready to use rather than as an empty shell. Signage, an occupancy indicator, and flooring are line items. Because these rooms are demountable, they can be placed for the current line and moved when it changes.

Before you ask for a quote, know:

  • Which rule or program the room serves, and how many people use it per shift
  • Location on the floor and the clear ceiling height there
  • Cooling, plumbing, and power available nearby
  • Fit-out: seating, water, sink, fridge, lockable door, occupancy indicator

Questions buyers ask

Does a lactation room have to be a permanent room?
No. The federal requirement is a space shielded from view, free from intrusion, and not a bathroom, available when needed. A modular room with a locking door meets that and can be relocated.
How cold does a cool-down room need to be?
Rules that address indoor heat call for a cool-down area that is shaded, ventilated, or cooled, and open-air or blocked from heat sources. An air-conditioned room held in the low 70s°F is the common target; the unit is sized to the room and the ambient.
