Etymology
The station is located a few meters from the Avenida Fermín Vivaceta. This avenue recalls Fermín Vivaceta, architect and professor, who designed the buildings of the central house of the University of Chile, the tower of the Church of Saint Francis, the seats of the Alameda de Las Delicias, the Central Market, the Church of The 12 Apostles in Valparaíso and the Bueras Fort among others. The pictogram of the station makes direct reference to the architecture studies of Vivaceta, presenting characteristic elements of that profession.
