Frist Campus Center

Frist Campus Center is a focal point of social life at Princeton University. It is a combination of the former Palmer Physics Lab, and a modern addition completed in 2001. It was endowed with money from the fortune the Frist family (who count among them Dr. Bill Frist '74, former Senate Majority Leader) has made in the private hospital business.

Designed by Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates, the firm of acclaimed architects Robert Venturi (a Princeton alumnus) and Denise Scott Brown, the building consists of a modern expansion to the existing Collegiate Gothic Palmer Hall. The new building volume fills in the courtyard of the previous C-shaped structure, and extends across its open side to create a new east facade.

This building has also been used for external shots of the fictitious Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in the television series House.
