Abstract : Educational buildings such as school structures require careful architectural planning and detailed structural analysis due to their high occupancy, long service life, and importance to public safety. This journal presents an integrated study on the architectural planning and structural load analysis of a reinforced concrete school building using Autodesk Revit and STAAD.Pro. Revit is utilized as a Building Information Modelling (BIM) tool to develop architectural layouts, floor plans, elevations, sections, and three-dimensional views, ensuring proper space utilization, ventilation, and functional efficiency. STAAD. Pro is employed for structural modelling, load calculation, and analysis of the building under various loading conditions. Dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and seismic loads are calculated in accordance with Indian Standard codes such as IS 456:2000, IS 875 (Part 1–3), and IS 1893 (Part 1). Appropriate load combinations are generated to verify both strength and serviceability criteria. The analysis results indicate that the proposed school building is structurally stable and satisfies all codal requirements. The study also briefly incorporates the concept of a Zero Energy Building by emphasizing energy-efficient architectural planning, optimal daylight utilization, natural ventilation, and the potential use of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems to offset the building’s energy consumption. The integration of BIM tools with structural analysis software thus improves design accuracy, coordination, structural safety, and sustainability in modern educational building projects.
