History

When Line 3 was approved in 2012, this station was not included. In 2015, the planning of Line 3 was changed, and the line was extended from Shishan station to this station. It would be called University of Science and Technology station, named after the Science and Technology campus of Foshan University nearby. The relevant adjustment plan was approved by the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission on 28 March 2019. In 2022 the station name was renamed to Foshan University of Science and Technology Xianxi Campus station. 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 station. It was later renamed again to Foshan University station.
The construction of this station officially started in May 2019, and the main structure topped out on 25 October 2020. On 9 April 2023, the curtain wall of the façade of this station was successfully completed.
