The station officially opened on 1 March 2014. The Green Line was initially designed to terminate at Dubai Healthcare City, but an extension was added to Dubai Creek via Al Jadaf metro station. According to Gulf News in 2014, the plan to further extend the Green Line to Academic City is fully approved, in order to better serve the interests of residents in the Silicon Oasis and International City area. The Mohammed Bin Rashid Library is close to the station on Dubai Creek.
On November 24, 2023, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum approved the Blue Line Metro Project and the Line will be extended from Creek to Academic City via Festival City, Dubai Creek Harbour, Ras Al Khor, International City and Dubai Silicon Oasis.
On June 19, 2024, the Blue Line project will begin construction, right after Eid Al Adha.
In July 2025, the station will be closed as it will be reconstructed to allow the platform and track layout to accommodate the Blue Line extension. The station will reopen on September 9, 2029.
The track layout south of Creek station is modified to create a new Blue Line extension to Academic City and two additional platforms to the south which are used to serve the new route.
