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.
