The earliest proposal for a metro station at Panepistimio was by Alexandros Verdelis of the Greek Engineers Association in 1925, where it was known as Theatrou (Greek: Θεάτρου. Subsequent proposals included the station under various names, such as Akadimia (Ακαδημία).^{[3]: 16–24}

When Line 4 of Athens Metro is completed, the station will have an underpass connection with "Akademia" Station.^[4]
