Take a metro train to the College Park station. Exit the station through the primary exit (don't take the tunnel). Take the Shuttle-UM bus 104 to campus. The shuttle is free. Get off at the last stop - Regents Drive Garage. The Edward St. John Learning & Teaching Center is a block south from the shuttle bus stop.
To calculate the approximate travel time, use Google Maps for public transit from your location in DC to the College Park Metro Station, and then add about 20 minutes for the waiting, Shuttle-UM bus time, and one block walk.
