The Massachusetts Institute of Technology was a large building found on the planet 892-IV. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses")
Stock footage of the real Massachusetts Institute of Technology (specifically, Building 10) was used, presumably because of its Roman-like architecture.
Earth's version of MIT was mentioned in the script of Star Trek, in a bit of dialogue that did not make it in the final movie. Nyota Uhura referred to Starfleet Academy taking top spot above Kyoto and MIT at the Oxford invitationals, due to her Gold rating in exolinguistics. [1]
