premises
Building and land
Premises refers to a building and the land it occupies, treated as a single unit: No smoking is allowed on the premises, The police searched the premises.
The word is always plural in this sense—there is no singular "premise" meaning a building.
Separately, premises is the plural of premise, meaning assumptions underlying an argument.
