I wanted to point out a theme that I have been using that already has some MIT-like appearance.

http://drupal.org/project/slash

I have made very little modification to the theme's stylesheets; just enough to get rid of the burgundy header background color, and change the body background to white, and a few other tweaks.

IS&T Site at MIT

We are building a new version of MIT's IS&T website in Drupal. Site development is on-going and content migration will happen in the spring. For end users, I am building a custom theme based on html designs which pre-dated the use of Drupal as our CMS. For the admin theme, I used Garland and changed the colors to the MIT standard red and gray motif.

We are using Drupal 6.x

We haven't written any custom modules, but we are using the following community contributed modules:
Administration Menu http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu A 20 pixel high admin menu for privileged users
Advanced Help http://drupal.org/node/311418 Nice Help for Views
Backup and Migrate http://drupal.org/project/backup_migrate Self Explanatory
Captcha http://drupal.org/project/captcha_pack Prove you're a human
CCK http://drupal.org/project/cck Fabulous content construction kit
Custom Breadcrumbs http://drupal.org/project/custom_breadcrumbs For when you just need to break the rules
Devel (on dev machines) http://drupal.org/project/devel Theme-developer is very helpful.

IMCE http://drupal.org/project/imce An image and file upload and handling module
Menu Block http://drupal.org/project/menu_block For making blocks out of dynamic menus
Node Clone http://drupal.org/project/node_clone For when you want a page almost just like one you have
TinyMCE http://drupal.org/project/tinymce WYSIWYG text editor (might switch to fckEditor)
