What hospital is the main setting of the television series House M.D.?

The main setting of House M.D. is Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. The fictional New Jersey teaching hospital is where Gregory House leads a team that investigates difficult and unusual medical cases.

Princeton-Plainsboro functions as more than a backdrop: its departments, administrators, laboratories, emergency facilities, and teaching environment drive many of the show’s conflicts. Hospital administrator Lisa Cuddy oversees the institution for much of the series, while James Wilson leads the oncology department and remains House’s closest friend.

Viewers sometimes confuse Princeton-Plainsboro with a real hospital. It is fictional, although the series used real locations and studio sets to create its appearance. The exterior commonly associated with the hospital was filmed at Princeton University’s Frist Campus Center, while many interior scenes were produced on constructed sets.
