最初に建物だけを建てて、歩道は作らずにキャンパス全体を芝生にして
一定の期間がたったあと人が歩いて芝生が無くなった獣道を元にして歩道を設計した大学があったと思うのですが
それは何大学なのでしょうか。
多分、ここじゃないでしょうか。
UC Davis
http://www.ucdavis.edu/index.html
Where the sidewalk ends.

Looking for info about designing sidewalks by understanding human traffic patterns
I read a story in a textbook years ago about a university that, when planning their new system of sidewalks between the buildings, planted grass and let the paths that people wore into the grass be the guideline for the new sidewalks that they would put in the next year...does this sound familiar, or can anyone shed some light on this (the story - not the textbook).

They are called desire lines. Wikipedia.
I have heard that same university story as describing UC Davis, but I guess it's up to google to determine the veracity of that.
