History
In the initial planning of Line 3, the northern terminus of the line was at University Town station. However, when the line was approved in 2012, it terminated at Shishan station (now Bo'ai Zhonglu) south of this station. In 2013, Line 3 was decided to extend to the north, which meant the station was restored, and it was planned to be built as an elevated station.[5] In 2015, the plan of Line 3 was changed, and this station was retained.[6] In 2019, the station was changed from an elevated to an underground station. In 2022 the station name was adjusted to Nanhai University Town station.
On 25 September 2021, the underground diaphragm wall of the envelope structure of the station was enclosed.[7] On 28 April 2022, the base slab was sealed.[8] On 5 August 2022, the main structure topped out.[9]
The station opened on 23 August 2024 as part of the section from "Lianhe to Foshan University".[10][a]
Notes
- Prior to opening, it was known as part of the 'rear section' or 'section under construction'
