XL Center to Pay Damages in Disability Lawsuit – Hartford Courant

The XL Center has modified interior doors so they take less force to open, lowered vending machines so they are easier to reach, altered bathroom fixtures, and lowered baby-changing stations to help settle a complaint that the building was not fully accessible to patrons with disabilities, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.

The settlement, for a case filed by patron Michelle Duprey against the XL Center and its operators, will also cover $20,000 in legal expenses, and $3,000 to Duprey for nonphysical damages paid by Connecticut Innovations, which leases some of the space.
