Donating with stipulations is a very normal thing to do for entities with the money to do so. You give money to the organisation because they are best placed to do x in terms of other resources. You know that the organisation also does y and z, which are less important to you, so you ask them to use it for x. No different to hiring people really: just because you trust they can do a good job doesn't mean you let them work on whatever they want.
Donating money with floorplan layout stipulations is weird though, especially when it's the recipient saying "no, that layout of the building that'll bear your name is so mean it'll reflect badly on us"
