As campuses wish to stimulate interactions among different campus users, we aim to identify why some locations are successful in fostering unplanned meetings while others are not. This can help campus managers, directors, and other practitioners to optimize their campus to facilitate unplanned meetings between academic staff and companies. Findings of a previous survey were discussed in five focus groups, which were transcribed and thematically coded. Three separate theme groups were identified: function (food, drinks, events, work, facilities), space (distance, experience, accessibility, characteristics), and organization (coherence, culture, organization). Time was an overarching constraint, influencing all other themes. There were three natural moments for unplanned meetings: during short breaks, lunch breaks, and events. The outcomes suggest a 5-minute campus as the environment of interaction; a campus where natural moments, locations, and travel time for unplanned meetings are designed and aligned: (1) under 5 min walking for short workplace breaks, (2) approximately 5 min travel time for lunch breaks, and (3) over 5 min travel time for events, depending on the event length and anticipated knowledge gain.
为了激发不同校园用户之间的互动，我们旨在确定为什么有些地点能够成功促进无计划的会议，而有些则不能。这可以帮助校园管理人员、主任和其他从业者优化校园环境，促进学术人员和公司之间的无计划会议。对先前调查的结果进行了五次焦点小组讨论，这些讨论被转录并进行了主题编码。确定了三个独立的主题组：功能（食品、饮料、活动、工作、设施）、空间（距离、体验、可达性、特征）和组织（连贯性、文化、组织）。时间是一个总体约束因素，影响所有其他主题。无计划会议有三个自然时刻：短休息时间、午餐休息时间和活动时间。研究结果表明，5 分钟的校园是互动的环境；一个无计划会议的自然时刻、地点和出行时间被设计和调整的校园：（1）短工作休息时间步行不超过 5 分钟，（2）午餐休息时间大约 5 分钟的旅行时间，（3）活动时间超过 5 分钟，具体取决于活动长度和预期的知识收益。
