General information[edit]

The station logo is a crest bearing a bird with the head of a condor and of an eagle, and the legend "Por mi Raza hablará el Espíritu"; this is the official coat of arms of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), which the station serves.[2][3]

This metro terminal is multimodal, connecting with microbus lines that serve zones like Tlalpan, Ajusco, Milpa Alta and Contreras. It also connects with the UNAM's internal bus base, with buses that give free service on the campus, between schools, institutes and sports facilities, including the México 68 Olympic Stadium.[6] It also serves the Pedregal de Santo Domingo and Copilco el Alto neighbourhoods.[2]

Metro Universidad also has facilities for the handicapped, and a large mural depicting the history of UNAM.[2]
