Dunder Mifflin - Locations and Sets Used

Locations and Sets Used

The office and warehouse of the Scranton branch office are sets on the production company's office in Van Nuys, California (a real office was used in the show's first season). The parking lots and exterior of the building are likewise the exterior of the building (except in the first season, when the building's exterior was different because a different shooting location was used). Since the stage set had no windows, writer Jennifer Celotta's office was dressed to look like Michael Scott's when the script called for him or someone else to look out the window into the parking lot. In the second and subsequent seasons, the office interiors and exteriors are at a different location in Van Nuys.

Some viewers have presumed that the Pennsylvania Paper & Supply Company's tower, a downtown Scranton landmark which appears in video footage shot by cast member John Krasinski for the show's opening credits, is the Dunder Mifflin office. The real company, which also sells paper and office supplies, has welcomed the exposure (and increase in business) and has a ground-floor showroom where it sells both its products and T-shirts with the tower. It plans to add a Dunder Mifflin logo to the circular insets near the top of the tower. Mifflin Avenue ends adjacent to the Penn Paper & Supply building.

Famous quotes containing the word sets:

    It is time to be old,
    To take in sail:—
    The god of bounds,
    Who sets to seas a shore,
    Came to me in his fatal rounds,
    And said: ‘No more!’
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
