==Station naming rights program== {{main|Prasarana Malaysia#Station naming rights program}}
The station was renamed to '''KL Gateway–Universiti''' after Suez Capital, a local property developer, was given naming rights by [[Prasarana Malaysia]]. The KL Gateway area is a major redevelopment of the Kampung Kerinchi area which is served by the LRT station, now feature premium residential buildings, a shopping mall and the Menara Suezcap office tower.<ref>[http://www.myrapid.com.my/media-centre/media-releases/2015/station-naming-rights-way-forward-improve-services Station naming rights the way forward to improve services]</ref><ref>[http://says.com/my/news/airasia-bank-rakyat-suez-capital-renames-kl-s-lrt-and-monorail-stations Why Are LRT Stations Being Rebranded And Renamed Like 'Bank Rakyat-Bangsar'?]</ref>
It is the first of three stations under pilot program of station [[naming rights]] which was launched in October 2015.<ref>[https://www.thestar.com.my/Metro/SMEBiz/News/2015/10/24/Gateway-to-Bangsar-South-New-mixed-development-offers-residential-units-office-towers-and-shopping-m/ South New offers residential units, office towers and shopping mall]</ref> Nonetheless, the contract was presumed to be terminated in 2021 as all signs bearing the KL Gateway prefix were removed from the station. Likewise, station announcements on the trains do not include the prefix as of March 2022.<ref>[https://youtube.com/shorts/66uoTjGekXo?feature=share YouTube Short Video with KL Gateway part of the announcement removed]</ref>
