Emma Hartman Noyes House is the most recently built dorm on Vassar Campus. Noyes's house color is cerulean blue, and its mascot is a Narwhal. Noyes generally houses 178 students.

Vassar's Youtube has a dorm tour video of Noyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgJ_r4SJrw0

=== Room Furniture ===

Each single comes with a bed, desk, spinny chair, tall dresser, and a built-in shelf on the wall. Each double comes with two of those. Each single has two outlets, and each double has three(?). I will add the dimensions later!

=== Common Rooms ===

Noyes has a lobby and two large common rooms on the first floor, and two kitchenettes and bathrooms per floor. The basement has multiple rooms.  

The Noyes lobby (or Nobby) is the main entrance room. It has two doors facing the Nircle with a vestibule, and one door facing the road. The elevator (Nelevator) is opposite to the vestibule. The Nobby typically has a rectangular table and a chair in it. From the Nobby you can go to either exit, up or down the stairs or elevator, to the hallway with rooms that leads to the MPR, to the Study room that is attached, or to the Jetsons Lounge.

The Jetsons Lounge is in the middle of the first floor. It is named after the show The Jetsons(?) because of it's retro-futurist(?) design, including the sunken conversation pit. This is referred to by Noyesians as the "passion pit." Around the passion pit there are various circular tables and chairs (some of this furniture might be replaced soon). There is also a printer and a piano.

On each of the second, third and fourth floor there are two kitchenettes and two gender-neutral bathrooms. Each of these floors are divided in half by a fire door. The bathrooms each have a wall of cubbies, a large mirror with four sinks, four toilet stalls and three shower stalls. The kitchenettes vary slightly in size, but all have a sink, microwave, cabinet, stove-top and rubbish bins. There are also some nooks that were used as phone booths on each floor.  

Noyes House team typically consists of 6 Stufels, 3 Cofels, 3 HFIs, a HP and VP. Eva Fontanez is the current House Advisor.   

Next year, Noyes House Team hopes to paint a mural on the main stairwell of various aquatic habitats and levels of depth. To get involved contact Fia Marrison!

Each spring, Noyes House Team hosts Noise on Noyes, and all-campus event. It is held in the spring semester, in mid to late April. It features student bands, has free food, student clothing sales, and other activities. Though it is always a fun event when in Jetsons or the Aula, for at least the past five years House Team has hoped to host it on the Nircle, but it has rained (and in 2025 snowed) every time. Hopefully next year the curse will be broken.
