Don't forget that class is at the Hyde Park Art Center tonight. Since I will miss class (I promise this is my last night of thesis observations!), I thought I could at least help out with directions for you. :)
Here's the Art Center's Getting Here page. You'll find good driving directions there if you plan to drive.
By Bus
This is probably easiest! The #6 Jackson Park Express bus has a stop in the loop right near campus at State and Monroe. CTA trip planner says there's a bus departing the State/Monroe stop at 5:27 pm, arriving at Cornell and E. Hyde Park at 5:53 pm. Here's the Google map/trip planner for this route.
Just a tip: when the bus gets off Lake Shore Drive, you'll soon go under some train tracks and then run parallel to them for a little while; then, just after the bus goes BACK UNDER the train tracks, that's your stop - Cornell. There's a BP gas station on the left, and just beyond that is the Art Center (brick building with the word ART painted real huge on the side).
By Metra
The Metra Electric Line is also fairly easy. You'd get on at the Millennium Station - the entrance is just outside the Cultural Center's steps (on the Randolph side). You go underground to get there (follow the signs). Board the train, and you pay a Metra guy that comes around once the train starts moving. There's a train that departs Millennium Station at 5:30 pm and arrives at the 51st/53rd Street (Hyde Park) stop at 5:44 pm. When you exit the station, turn right, and across the street you'll see the BP gas station... HPAC is just beyond that! Here's the Metra itinerary for this route.

Liked the facility a lot. Has great potential for performance and film installations!
