=== Common Rooms ===

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

==== First Floor ====

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." Entering Jetsons from the Nobby, you can enter the Jetsons kitchen (the largest kitchen in the dorm), the storage room and single-stall bathroom (known by some as the "poop deck") and the old computer room (which is currently empty, and might be turned into a workout room). In the main room, 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. At the other end of the room there are two study rooms without doors. These each have a whiteboard, and some tables and chairs. Past these is the Southwest staircase, past which are the apartments of the House Advisor and the House Fellow(s).

The Multi Purpose Room (MPR) was an addition to the Northeast side of the building, past the first floor singles. It has a high counter built into the Nircle- facing- window wall with stools to work at. There are also various stools and tall tables. At the back there is a ping-pong table, two vending machines, and a small couch. To the right of the entrance there is a TV that students to connect to with an HDMI cable. In front of the TV is a round couch that has a counter on the back. Behind this couch is the MPR kitchen, which has a piano, a fridge and cabinets (and probably a stove?). From the kitchen there are stairs to the basement. The MPR tends to get very hot at the start of the year.

Noyes Singles range from having dimensions of ... The only singles with bay windows are the ones on the first floor, facing the Nircle. The rest of the singles are on the other side of the dorm and have flat windows with a flat circular light above, and radiators at the bottom. These windows face Cushing, the graveyard and the Deece.

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!

=== Projects ===

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!

=== Noise on Noyes ===

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.
