My kids built their elementary school in Minecraft. Teachers weren't invited though.

I probably need to load this up just to see how on Earth they replicated the Stata center[1] using only perfect cubes.

Faculty would love to know the secret as to how to arrange their rectangular furniture inside random polygonal offices (not that anyone's using them right now, I guess).

It’s how “Institute” is inscribed above the main campus buildings of MIT in Cambridge, it’s done in a neo-classical Roman style where “U” is replaced by “V”.

Basically it’s an MIT in-joke / reference.
