| Description | Correspondence regarding fees and costs of building 20 Bedford Way.
The correspondence includes discussion of:
Negotiation and settling of accounts with the architects Denys Lasdun Redhouse & Softley
Defective rodding eye and blocked cavity, 1982
Details of costs and fees paid re Stages 1 and 2 of the new building, 1981
Letter of condolence from William Taylor (IOE) to Sir Denys Lasdun re the death of Mr Mill, an associate from the architects firm
Dispute between IOE and Higgs & Hill Building Ltd over the contract for the IOE building, and University of London Law and University Hall, 1980 - this was in reference to a blocked cavity in the Lecture Hall which Higgs & Hill did not consider a defect under the terms of their contract
Plans for the move, including confirmation of allocation of postcode, discussion of move-in dates
N.B. As early as 1975 there was dispute between the University of London and Higgs and Hill Building Ltd over development work in Woburn Square. This is covered in the correspondence and seems to have affected relationships between the IOE and Higgs and Hill over other building matters.
