Menstrual Product Locations

Columbia University has initiated a pilot program to provide free menstrual products in major undergraduate residence halls and select academic buildings across its three main campuses. The program was implemented to improve and expand access to menstrual items for Columbia’s students, faculty, staff, and visitors, in line with recommendations by members of Columbia’s student councils. Products are restocked weekly and usage is monitored by the custodial team.

Dispensers offering free menstrual pads and tampons can be found all female and gender-neutral restrooms in the following buildings, except where noted:
