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 (Θεάτρου. Subsequent proposals included the station under various names, such as Akadimia (Ακαδημία).

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