Look at the lists of connected devices in your WAPs till you find the one with the MAC you're looking for. If you've got 802.1X (RADIUS) this should be really easy. That narrows it down to a couple of rooms (assuming you know where your WAPs are).

If you're on ethernet, then there's not a lot you can do unless there's routers in the way. You can check that the machine is present and running (ping it), but working out a physical location is what asset registers and management software on the machines is for. Find out what user is logged on, then grab their extension number, and work out what office that line is.

If you have proper enterprise switches you can see what MAC is attached to what port using their management tools, if you know the jack locations in the building you can find the device that way. If you have some software for inventory and computer management like LANDesk or SCCM (SMS), it should be capturing the serial # of the computer, at least those that have the info set in the BIOS which can be gotten to through WMI.
