Jansen Noyes, Jr.

Jansen Noyes, Jr. (1918–2004) was an investment banker and stock brokerage company executive.

Noyes earned a mechanical engineering degree from Cornell University in 1939. During his senior year, Noyes was elected to the Sphinx Head Society. He was Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Cornell University from 1978 to 1984.

Charitable Work

In 1966, Noyes' family donated Noyes Center, a student union on the university's West Campus. The building was designed by the architecture firm Todd & Giroux. [1] 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.
