History

When Line 3 was approved in 2012, this station was not included.^[4] In 2015, the planning of Line 3 was changed, and the line was extended from Shishan station (now Bo'ai Zhonglu) to this station. It would be called University of Science and Technology station, named after the Science and Technology campus of Foshan University nearby.^[5] The relevant adjustment plan was approved by the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission on March 28, 2019.^[6] In 2022 the station name was renamed to Foshan University of Science and Technology Xianxi Campus.^[7] Later, due to the approval of the university to change its name to Foshan University in May 2024, the station was renamed Foshan University Xianxi Campus.^[8] It was later renamed again to Foshan University.^[9]

The construction of this station officially started in May 2019,^[10] and the main structure was capped on October 25, 2020.^[11] On April 9, 2023, the curtain wall of the façade of this station was successfully completed.^[12]
