History

The station, which opened on 18 June 1972, was designed by the architect Denis Gomes with art installations by the painter Maria Keil.^[1]

On 19 July 2017, the station was closed for extensive renovations; the station's platforms only had room for 4 cars, requiring use of selective door operation.^[2] The platforms were expanded from 75 to 105 metres, enabling all stations on the Green Line to be able to support six-car trains.^[3] The station reopened on 14 September 2021.^[4]
