[The Good Wife's "Pants on Fire" | image source @ 17:10]This scene takes place in what is supposedly the medical examiner's office, as gurneys with body bags are rolled through the corridors (in the distance, between Kalinda and the medical examiner, above). The narrow, single-loaded corridor is what caught my eye. Lined with translucent wall panels (aka Kalwall) on one side and burnished CMU on the other, I immediately thought of the below project, Pratt Institute's Stabile Hall by PKSB:

But none of the details match: Unit heaters are not found in The Good Wife Corridor; neither is the cove lighting along the CMU wall; nor are there any clear windows amongst the Kalwall; lastly, the translucent panels are oriented vertically on The Good Wife, not horizontally as at Pratt.
So, knowing that The Good Wife films in New York City, where did they shoot this scene? What's the building? When I think of other Kalwall buildings, the ones that come to mind -- Ennead's New York Hall of Science, Beyer Blinder Belle's Mark Morris Dance Group, Jonathan Kirschenfeld's Domenench for Common Ground -- don't seem to work, though the latter does have single-loaded corridors.

Complicating matters is the extension of the corridor in the above photo, which is a 180-degree turn from the top photo. It has a distinctive clerestory ceiling much different than the Kalwall-lined corridor. So given the architectural details of the spaces -- natural light, CMU, windows between corridor and rooms -- I'm thinking the building is an institution like a hospital, more aligned with its use in The Good Wife than John Jay College was in the previous episode.
If you have a guess or a clue as to where this was filmed, please leave a comment.
