In uni we were unhappy with the 10Mbps wiring that was in the engineering lab building and took it upon ourselves to replace it with cat5, which was what was current at the time. We did the job over a weekend, informed IT the following Wednesday, they said "thanks but no thanks", then we clarified that it had already been done and was already running. Never got an answer but they left it alone. We also replaced our wifi access points with the ones from the law library when they got the nicer ones, but that was entirely covert :)
