Commonwealth Institute of Technology

The Commonwealth Institute of Technology, or C.I.T., was a school of higher education in Cambridge, Massachusetts, prior to the Great War.

Background
Based on a campus near the Charles River, the Commonwealth Institute of Technology also possessed other amenities such as the Greenetech Genetics building and its own experimental nuclear reactor, contained beneath the university itself. After the war, remnants of the Commonwealth Institute of Technology would go on to form the elusive society known as the Institute, within the college's underground level in 2110. CIT was responsible for the creation of the Code Defender security software; revolutionary enough that it would be in use by the Institute for the next two centuries.
