Abstract: The project includes preparation of plan and design of a three hundred bedded Medical College. Building drawing was prepared by using the software AutoCAD. It indicates plan, section and elevation of the proposed building drawn to scale of 1:100. Design of the structural elements was done by using the software STAAD Pro 2007 and validated manually. The aim of design is the achievement of an acceptable probability that structures designed will perform satisfactorily during their intended life. With an appropriate degree of safety they should sustain all the loads and deformations of normal construction and use and give adequate resistance to the effects of misuse and fire. In structural design, account shall be taken of the dead, imposed and wind loads and forces such as those caused by earthquake and effect due to shrinkage, creep, temperature etc. Results obtained from STAAD Pro and manual designs were compared. The results seemed to be converging. The designing and detailing was done according to the standard specifications of various codes to the possible extend. The various difficulties encountered in the design process and various constraints faced by the Structural Engineer in designing were well understood.
