I wrote what might be considered a book on this in a previous thread, and many said they found the second part useful. For the purposes of your sentence, however, there is no considerable difference. If you want to be broader and deliberately leave open the chance that you may see the person only outside the building, you should choose “at.” If you want to be narrow and perceive you will definitely see the person only inside the building, you should choose “in.” These are frail differences, and no one will interpret the sentence that strictly. It doesn’t matter.

“At” refers to placement or location.
“In” refers to containment.

You may stand outside the school and say you are at the school. You may say you are at the school once you are inside, too.

You may say you are in the school if and only if you are contained by the building.

Because of this distinction, “in” does not work at all for any location incapable of containing a certain object, such as a person.

Adam is at the mailbox. (Obviously, he’s never in it.)

But

The letter is in the mailbox. (Because it can be contained by it.)

When we pull up to the curb, we are at the airport. We are not in the airport, however, until we walk through the doors, at which point we’ll still be at the airport as well.

*“In school” can also mean that someone is simply enrolled in one. This is different from location.
