Based on what we offer at work We could probably store a chair for you if you just wanted it on campus.... We also were able to help ppl link in with building staff for charging it, storage while in lectures or if only needed it outside or you could charge it in a classroom (they may require it to be PAT tested but should be able to test it for you).
The ones we've just had to get rid of (can't lend to studes cos of insurance) were quiter BULKY but you can get smaller ones and they just have a small car battery sized brick which we kept in the front basket and just plugged the XLR type connector into the cable and then standard wall plug.
I think they have 2-5hrs continuous battery and this will deteriorate over time but can have batteries replaced.
I think you'd do well to think about how it would actually be useful. So something like identifying each possible route and whether you'd walk or scooter, where you'd need permission (or just FDI) to charge it.
You could look for manuals online for scooters before ebay looking, and also try some out at local places. I also recommend BBC ouch as good place of ppl who have done this before.
I'll probably come back to you with more. I might email you if it's not something I can stick on LJ.
