Locksbrook Campus
Locksbrook Campus, Locksbrook Road, Bath, Somerset, BA1 3EL
The Locksbrook building plays a significant part in the City of Bath's architectural and cultural heritage and is an outstanding place for teaching and learning creative practices in design and the arts. Building on a heritage of creative excellence, the Grimshaw reworking of the original Herman Miller “Action Factory” embraces its history, readies it for the future, and enables the fantastic thinking-through-making embedded in our students’ work. It is a building of layers, from its industrial past, through its award-winning reworking, to the vibrant workshops and studios where our students now create & leave their own mark.
2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic Locksbrook Campus building. To celebrate, Bath Spa University is launching a year-long programme exploring the local, national and global significance of the Locksbrook building, its cultures and communities.
For Heritage Open Days, we invite you on to our Locksbrook Campus to learn about the living heritage of this building, and how it creatively balances the conservation of its past with the needs of its current and future users.
