That’s for someone to pump milk. Probably doesn’t get used much.
I remember this scene from Severance.
If you pad the walls with sound proof material and allowing people to scream and shout till their lungs burst, then it becomes a real wellness room
It’s a literal requirement in many commercial buildings. They’re for breastfeeding in the code of many municipalities, but you can’t call them booby rooms so they’re “wellness rooms”. A commercial space I was looking at required 2 nursing/wellness rooms because of the size. For a team of 10 dudes. Ridiculous

The premise of these rules is that they apply regardless of gender, in order to avoid incentivizing an all-male office specifically to avoid regulations. Now, if you do decide your company doesn’t need to be a pure sausage fest, you won’t be on the hook to build out a new room specifically to accommodate someone of the opposite gender.
And, in the meantime, you’ve got a space to take a private phone call or pop an advil and close your eyes for a minute, if you feel the need.
You need to fit all the requirements, regardless of the current composition of your company. Are you saying that you will never hire women? If a woman interviewed there, she would be put off by the lack of accomodations.
2 rooms is a bit much for 10 people, but one is totally understandable if you ever intend to hire women.
Place I used to work at had a room labeled “Safe Space” that I can only assume was mandated by corporate because the store manager hung a framed photo of a snowflake on the wall in it. He wasn’t there for very much longer, wonder why?
