According to Sorin Călinescu, one of the three planners of the station, when shown the plans for the Line M2 in 1985, First LadyElena Ceaușescu reportedly demanded the station's removal. According to some of the people who worked on the station, Ceaușescu was concerned that workers and students were starting to gain weight and needed more exercise, hence they should walk instead of taking the metro train. The engineers, having enough foresight, realized the station would be necessary in the future, and the initial construction was done in secret. Because of this, the platforms are somewhat asymmetrical, very narrow (less than 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) wide) and the waiting area is in a corridor separated by thick walls from the platforms in order to sustain the station's structure.
While subways ran past without stopping for about a year, thousands of residents reportedly wrote to petition for a station, which was opened on 28 November 1988. It was added to the previously opened extension from Piața Unirii to Pipera.
