Ava Pods for Education

The Challenge

Schools and universities support learning, work, care, and community, all on one campus. Students benefit from quiet places to focus and access telehealth, while faculty, staff, and visitors rely on private, accessible spaces for meetings and lactation. Educational institutions must accommodate a wide range of activities without costly renovations or sacrificing valuable square footage. Ava Pods helps educational institutions create purpose-built private spaces wherever they're needed.

Impact

Built for Modern Campuses

Schools and universities across the country trust Ava Pods to provide private spaces that support students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

  • 1 in 5 U.S. College Students Are Parents

    Nearly one in five college students is raising a child, making lactation spaces essential to supporting student parents on campus.

  • 60% of Students Need Mental Health Support

    Mental health needs continue to rise on college campuses, increasing the demand for private spaces that support counseling, telehealth, and student well-being.

  • Only 18% of Students Access Care

    While 83% of public schools offer intervention services, only 18% of students access them. Private spaces for confidential counseling and telehealth can help reduce barriers to care.

Testimonials

Used by the Best

 Trusted by educational organizations making space for focus.

Space is premium in a lot of buildings, and our pod doesn’t take up a lot of space. When you’re in it, there’s a lot more square footage. And the soundproofing is excellent.

Adam Hill

Facilities Administrator, University of Notre Dame

Students love the privacy and comfort that the pods provide.

Marjorie Mattis

Academic Dean, Harrisburg Area Community College, York Campus

Having the Mamava pod on campus made me feel welcome and valued as a breastfeeding student. Someone had anticipated my need and provided for it.

Chilan Ta

Manager, Gender Equity Resource Center, North Seattle College

Students book them for interviews, staff for calls. Nobody has asked us for a quiet room since.

Priya Raghunathan

Director of Campus Planning, Claremont University

I want our staff to know that we value them as professionals and as mothers. Having this for our employees isn’t just a benefit—it’s a luxury that many teachers don’t normally have access to.

Juliana Bryansmith

Principal, Coney Island Prep School

We want to show that being a mom and continuing to work is achievable. So, providing a private space to pump is one small way we can demonstrate that value.

Jacob Mnookin

Executive Director, Coney Island Prep School

Our Mamava suite was installed in the University of Alaska (UAA) Student Union...We are really excited to hear that UAA is sharing information about the pod's availability during student orientation!
