The aging infrastructure of educational institutions poses significant challenges, demanding a comprehensive approach to assess, maintain, and rehabilitate existing structures. This review article focuses on the Structural Audit and Rehabilitation initiatives undertaken in the context of the old building in BDCE campus, shedding light on the methodologies, challenges, and outcomes associated with the process. The study integrates a thorough examination of structural audit practices, rehabilitation strategies, and case studies related to historical structures within the campus. The first section delves into the importance of structural audits in ensuring the safety and longevity of buildings. Various methodologies employed in conducting structural audits are explored, emphasizing the integration of modern technologies such as non-destructive testing, structural health monitoring, and computer-aided modeling. The second section of the review highlights the specific challenges encountered in the BDCE campus, including the unique architectural features, material deterioration, and compliance with updated building codes. This section also discusses the role of interdisciplinary collaboration among architects, engineers, and preservation experts in addressing these challenges effectively. The third section focuses on the rehabilitation strategies implemented based on the findings of the structural audit. This includes the use of innovative materials, retrofitting techniques, and sustainable practices to enhance the structural integrity and functional efficiency of the old buildings. Case studies illustrating successful rehabilitation projects within the BDCE campus are presented, showcasing the application of theoretical knowledge into practical solutions. Furthermore, the article discusses the economic and environmental implications of rehabilitation compared to new construction. It explores the potential for adaptive reuse, preservation of cultural heritage, and the positive impact on the overall sustainability of the campus.
