Charitable work

In 1966, Noyes' family donated Noyes Center, a student union on Cornell University's West Campus. The building was designed by the architecture firm Todd & Giroux. The building was demolished along with the six University Hall dormitories as part of the West Campus Initiative whose goal was to create a residential college system on West Campus. The building was replaced by the new Noyes Community Recreational Center that opened in 2007 on a nearby site.
