Schueco UK Education Building - Bath Schools of Art and Design

Purchased by Bath Spa University in 2016, the Grade II listed Herman Miller factory is now home to the Bath Schools of Art and Design. Originally designed by Terry Farrell and Nicholas Grimshaw, the building was intended to accommodate the changing needs of current and future occupiers. Grimshaw’s repurposing scheme maintains this ethos, while significantly enhancing the building’s environmental performance and safeguarding it for future generations. The primary focus was to reuse as much of the existing structure as possible, including the modularised fabric, which was designed to be reconfigured depending on the requirements for solid and glazed areas. Schüco systems have been specified throughout the building envelope, from the glazed entrances and refurbished windows to the glass roof extension.
