I'd feel a lot better for you and the security of your new Homer if this 
locker was only accessible to students and faculty and you had to badge in. 
It's good that it's inside and you are only there for 2 hours and have 2 
locks for frame and wheels...but not clear from this photo to me what the 
immoveable attachment point is. Are those pulldown bike racks of some kind? 
I guess if there's enough traffic in and out of this locker, a potential 
thief with whatever tools are used to break the locks would be noticeable, 
but it seems a little sketchy. Especially if you have night classes and 
there are not too many people around and someone has free rein at hacking 
your locks, out of the elements, with no one else in the room, while the 
cameras record the event with nobody monitoring them until after the fact.

For me...I would be stressing over that Homer and that is my argument for 
an understated but mechanically sound, fun ,  not horrible to ride beater 
that wouldn't blow up my world if it got stolen, but ...I realize this goes 
against one of the purposes of getting said Homer. A risk I might be leery 
of but you might be OK with.

Good luck with whatever you decide
