Locksbrook Campus In October 2015, the university announced that it had submitted proposals for the purchase and redevelopment of the former Herman Miller furniture factory on Locksbrook Road, Bath, about west of Bath city centre. The site would become a new home for Bath School of Art and Design, as the Sion Hill campus did not provide enough academic space for the university's needs. The proposals detail changes that would be made to car parking provision on the site, as well as a more general transport plan for the campus.
