My father - ND ‘52 - lived in Lyons his freshman year. I lived in the basement of my dorm at ND my freshman year. Wouldn’t trade that experience for anything.
Never had AC at ND. Somehow we made it.
Your granddaughter will be fine. Focus on her many blessings.

I knew a bunch who lived there (some in the basement) when I attended (long ago), and the daughter of a friend lived there last year (in the basement). It was totally fine. Not a problem. There is a senior there this year who requested the basement with a top room pick because she loves it.
The "basement" rooms have windows. They are merely ground floor rooms on the back side, and maybe half in-the-ground(?) rooms on the front/quad side...hard to remember exactly, but every room has a window. It is not a totally in-the-ground basement, if that is what you are worried about.
Easy move in.
No AC in the entire dorm, of course. Take a window fan...maybe even an oscillating fan for evenings. Open the window. Leave the room door open during the day. ....And, let the character building begin.
I had a tiny, no-AC, basement room in my dorm when I attended. Not a problem. You get used to it. And, I'm a guy who likes AC.
Close to Food Sales and Vending Machines, the community room was down there, easy in and out of the building, minimal attention and traffic by your doors.
I haven't been in there since the latest remodel, which was two years ago, I think.
Lyons Hall is a great dorm. NONE of the old dorms have a.c. in the rooms. You use a fan for a couple weeks and it's perfectly fine.
