Andrew,

Also look into

Herecast
http://www.herecast.com/ 

and, Microsoft Research RADAR. 
There is a package for people who may be interested in using RADAR and that
the package includes source code. It should be easy to obtain coming from a
university.

You might also be able to obtain a license from Ekahau to use their system
for university use. This is what Illinois Institute of Technology did. See
http://indoorlbs.com/GPSprojects.html .
