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.[4] 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.[5]

He was also the [6][7] Director of Helen Keller International from 1946–1996.
