This looks like, and “Wellness room” sounds like, a gender neutral term for a lactation room.
The description in that Wikipedia article sounds much nicer and more elaborate than what we actually had at my last office.
Precisely what this is, with the added benefit (to the company) of being used as a prayer room or other various employee needs.
Converting storage to these private/meditation/wellness (corporation dependant branding for them) rooms has been very common.
Imagine the conflict when the woman who needs to pump breast milk and the man who needs to spread his prayer mat and pray meet at the door.
Although I guess it would be easily solved by him putting on a sleep mask. (Earplugs if he finds the squirt squirt of breast milk arousing or distracting.) Or if the entry door is on the East end of the room.
They are typically reserved rooms, so they would just select a different space to book.
