House M.D. is primarily set at which fictional teaching hospital?

House M.D. is primarily set at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The hospital is located in New Jersey and serves as the workplace for Gregory House, James Wilson, Lisa Cuddy, and many of the series’ other doctors. House leads a specialized diagnostic team there, investigating cases that have resisted ordinary medical treatment.

Princeton-Plainsboro is fictional, but the show used real locations and studio sets to create its environment. The exterior shots for the hospital were filmed at Princeton University’s Frist Campus Center in New Jersey, while other scenes were produced in California. The fictional setting allowed the writers to build a teaching hospital with a large range of departments and cases.

Seattle Grace Hospital belongs to Grey’s Anatomy, Sacred Heart is associated with Scrubs, and St. Elsewhere is the setting of another medical drama. Those familiar hospital names are common mix-ups, but they are not House M.D.’s main hospital.
