History
I. P. Pavlova station was opened on 9 May 1974. During construction of the station, the remains of a decorative sculpture of a Baroque bastion were found. This sculpture can now be seen next to the ticket office inside the station.
The station, which only has exits at one end of the platform, had three escalators until reconstruction in the 1990s, when a fourth was introduced.
In 2011, it was announced that I. P. Pavlova was one of five metro stations selected for redevelopment, whereby a lift will be installed to enable disabled access to the station. The construction has a projected completion date of 2014.
