==== ~~First Floor~~ ====

==== Noyes Lobby ====

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).
