Macon State's main campus is located on on College Station Drive, near Eisenhower Parkway (US 80), in western Bibb County, Georgia. The Warner Robins campus is located on along Watson Boulevard, just a half-mile from the main gate of Robins Air Force Base. The college's current president is Dr. David A. Bell.

History

The history of Macon State College began in 1965, when the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents passed a resolution to create a public two-year college in Middle Georgia. Subsequently, the voters of Bibb County approved a bond issue to fund the college.

Macon Junior College, as it was then known, opened its doors in 1968 to the largest enrollment ever for a new state college in Georgia. In 1970, the Board of Regents directed Macon Junior College to serve civilian and military employees at Robins Air Force Base. The Robins Resident Center, located on the base, was subsequently established.

I'm not seeing a "music building" on their campus map. Address for the entire college is 100 College Station Drive Macon GA 31206 Here's a link to the campus map. Elsewhere on the web site they mention that the music classrooms are in the arts complex. http://www.maconstate.edu/maps/docs/newcampusmap.pdf So get to the college entrance, head towards the east parking lot and walk towards the arts complex building.
