Is Noyer Complex the same as Baker/Klipple Hall?

Yes -- Noyer Complex is made up of two buildings, Baker and Klipple, each with its own front desk and mailing address.

Can beds be raised in Noyer?

The frame is adjustable -- the dimension guide says so explicitly -- but it gives only about 30.5 inches of clearance underneath when raised, less than at Ball State's other main first-year halls. Ball State provides the loftable/stackable furniture and hardware; outside loft kits and risers are not permitted.

Do first-years and upperclassmen live together in Noyer?

Yes, Baker/Klipple houses a mixture of both freshmen and upperclassmen, which is different from Ball State's more first-year-concentrated halls.

What's the bathroom setup in Noyer?

It depends on your building and room assignment, and Ball State's pages don't fully agree: the hall page says the complex has both semi-private and community-style bathrooms, its Quick Facts list semi-private, and the housing-rates page describes Baker/Klipple as private or semi-private. Confirm with Housing and Residence Life once you have an assignment.

Verified Aug 18, 2026 · bsu.edu

Noyer Complex (Baker and Klipple halls) houses close to 800 residents. The bed frame here is adjustable like every other Ball State hall, but tops out at 30.5 inches of clearance rather than the 54 inches published for DeHority, North West, and Schmidt/Wilson, so check storage-bin height before buying. The complex was built with accessibility in mind and offers options for students with mobility needs.

Under-bed clearance at Noyer tops out at about 30.5 inches once the frame is raised -- well below the 54 inches published for DeHority, North West, and Schmidt/Wilson -- so a storage bin that fits elsewhere on campus may not fit here.
Baker/Klipple houses a mixture of freshmen and upperclassmen, unlike the first-year-concentrated halls DeHority, North West, and Schmidt/Wilson, so don't assume every neighbor is also a first-year student.

Living in Noyer Complex: what to know before you pack

The room

A standard Noyer double is the largest of Ball State's main first-year rooms, about 234 by 149 inches with a 98-inch ceiling per the hall's official dimension guide (its summary line reads 19'2" by 16'4"). The Twin XL bed frame is adjustable, but only up to 30.5 inches of clearance underneath -- notably less than the 54 inches published for DeHority, North West, and Schmidt/Wilson, per Ball State's own room-dimension guides for each hall. Furniture includes a 42-inch-wide desk with a cubby, a 30-inch-wide dresser, and an 84-inch wardrobe with a 36-inch hanging bar. Bathroom style depends on where you're assigned: the hall's own page says the complex has both semi-private and community-style bathrooms, its Quick Facts box lists semi-private, and the housing-rates page calls Baker/Klipple private or semi-private -- three official pages that don't fully agree, so confirm your specific assignment before packing bath supplies.

Day to day

Noyer Complex, made up of Baker and Klipple halls, sits near the center of campus with easy access to Bracken Library, Pruis Hall, the Whitinger Business Building, the Architecture Building, and the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Facility. It's Ball State's largest residence complex at close to 800 residents and, unlike the university's first-year-focused halls, houses a mixture of both freshmen and upperclassmen. Klipple Hall specifically hosts the Honors Second-Year Experience for students who lived in DeHority's Honors community as first-years and want to continue it. The complex was built with accessibility as a priority and offers options for students with mobility needs throughout both buildings.

Move-in day

Move-in for Noyer follows Ball State's Fall 2026 first-year schedule: Sunday, August 16, or Monday, August 17. Because Noyer has two separate buildings with their own desks and addresses, confirm which one you're checking into first -- Baker (1603 W. Neely, 765-285-5057) or Klipple (1607 W. Neely, 765-285-5059) -- before you arrive. Check in at your assigned building's welcome table or tent for your key and QR-coded confirmation before unloading, follow posted signage and University Police direction, and don't unpack until you've checked in; unattended cars in unauthorized spots are towed to Scheumann Stadium. Bellhop-style carts are available on-site but in high demand given the complex's size, so bring your own dolly if you can.
