From the supplier: Accessibility has been a major concern of the Hartford Graduate Center long before the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990. Retrofits were started in 1986 to make the 154,000-sq-ft facility more accessible to handicapped students. In May 1990, the center received a $150,000 funding from the Hartford Foundation for Giving to continue its project of eliminating structural barriers. Considered high priority was the widening of library doors to meet ADA standards, the expansion of the lavatory and the retrofitting of the auditorium. Consequently, Besam automatic doors were installed in the library, more fixtures were added in the restroom, and an American Stair-Glide power lift was installed in the auditorium. The center was able to stretch its retrofit budget by making use of the skills of its in-house staff and reusing materials.
