Social sustainability
“Addressing the theme of sustainable development implementation, due to the complex image of the environmental impact and interconnectedness of social processes, requires a holistic approach where more disciplines combine their knowledge through interdisciplinary process as a prerequisite for the development of science.” (Pravdic 1993)

Socialization at University Campuses
“A key aspect to achieving interdisciplinarity is through the design of physical and social spaces. Creating spaces where people continuously come into contact with people outside their discipline in natural, casual social settings over and over again, helps develop social networks that eventually become the source of intellectual inspiration and creativity.” (Dzeng 2013)

Space for Cooperation as an Imperative – Reduction of Borders
One must bear in mind that elimination of intimate workspaces is neither possible nor advisable, but the borders between them can be less strict.

The Impact of New Technologies
Information Technology influences the spatial configuration of a building for interdisciplinary research on three identified levels:- the personal use of IT;- the use of IT in the process that is going on inside the building;- the process of architectural design.

Conclusions
Creating a space suitable for interdisciplinary research in art and technology isassociated with creating a sustainable university campus space since some of thedetected spatial features have a positive impact on:- reducing the energy consumption and usage of resources;- improving safety, education and work process;- spatial flexibility, the aesthetics of the environment and economic viability.
