Where was the exterior of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital filmed for House, M.D.?

The exterior of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in House, M.D. was filmed at Princeton University’s Frist Campus Center. The campus location helped give the fictional hospital a convincing academic setting.

Princeton-Plainsboro is a fictional teaching hospital in New Jersey, where House and his colleagues diagnose unusual illnesses. The show’s story treats the hospital as a single institution, but production used multiple locations and studio sets rather than one complete real hospital.

Frist Campus Center is located at Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. Other sequences were filmed in and around Los Angeles, including interiors built or adapted for production. This split between fictional setting and real filming locations is common in television drama.

The building is sometimes identified as a real Princeton-Plainsboro hospital, but no such hospital serves as the show’s complete filming site. The hospital name belongs to the fictional world of the series.
