The stations and tunnels were built under complicated geological circumstances. During the construction of the tunnel from the "Elmlar Akademiyasi" station, an unexpected and incredibly forceful flow of water came in.  It has been the biggest and the only avalanche occurring in the construction of the Baku Metro. The tunnel under construction and the equipment were completely buried in the avalanche and the construction works were then carried out according to a new plan. The construction was continued through the application of liquid nitrogen freezing to the water flow at the accident site. For this reason, the station was named in honor of the bravery and dedication of the construction workers of the metro. 
In 2015, both passageways of the station were renovated with a new design.  
The escalators in the second lobby of the station were outdated, their replacement took place since January 18, 2016. The three ET-type escalators were replaced with two “Tugela” escalators manufactured by “Thyssen Krupp”, Germany. A stone staircase was built in place of the third escalator and the lobby, which was closed due to construction, was put into passengers' use on June 1 of the same year. Then, the works were launched in the first lobby to replace the three outdated "ET-5" escalators with new ones. "Tugela" escalators, manufactured by “Thyssen Krupp”, Germany, were installed on the (maili gedişdə- sloping course) that was closed for passengers' entry and exit as of January 23, 2017. On April 18 of the same year, the first lobby began to receive its passengers with a completely updated view. The escalators' machinery hall and cashier's hall of the lobby were completely renovated, and the marble-granite coating changed. During the repair, new automatic checkpoint booth and equipment were installed at the checkpoint and a special area in front of the former cashier's hall was built  to host “BakıKART” top-up terminals in such a way as to ensure uninterrupted passenger traffic. A strip made of tamet stones with a raised surface was applied over the entire area, both from the entrance to the escalators and from the escalators to the exit door, so that visually impaired passengers could easily determine their direction.

A fragment from a national folk song "Daglar gizi Reyhan", composed by Fikret Emirov, is played on the trains arriving at the station.
