You must build what you said you would build in your grant application within the scope of your building program. This means:
A good example is the recently opened Scituate Town Library. Their original design was for a very modern two-story glass and steel addition onto their existing 1960s building. After receiving their grant, the town chose to hire a new architect and do a complete redesign. The result is a brick and wood siding addition/renovation with plenty of natural light. The site is the same; the total square footage is the same; all the program elements are there; but it looks completely different.
