My sister's school did the same thing! It's incredibly detailed http://www.dailyuw.com/arts_and_leisure/article_cd2a5c24-804...

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

As always, Berkeley did it first (and held the official graduation on it!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4f-Jc2kZrA

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).

Why v in institute?

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.
