The city initially named the Station Ochakovo.[4][5] In June 2018, the city changed the name to Ozyornaya, which comes from the nearby square and street, Ozyornaya Ploshchad and Ozyornaya Street.[6]
Architecture and decoration
Ozernaya station was built according to the standard project developed by the author's team under the direction of Leonid Borzenkov, which included Mikhail Volovich, Sergey Kostikov, Tamara Nagieva, Natalia Soldatova and Vasily Uvarov. This project was proposed by JSC Metrogiprotrans for the stations of the Minskaya - Ozernaya section [7]. Ozernaya station, as well as the stations of the Minskaya - Ramenki section, is a two-span shallow column with one 12 metre wide island platform [8].The ceiling, track walls and column faces facing them are covered with multilayer metal panels with cellular filling and polished surface of neutral grey colour, part of the lobby walls are made of volumetric glazed ceramic stone of the same tones. The stations differ from each other by the background colour and thematic patterns of illuminated glass panels, which are present on some walls of the lobbies and on the faces of platform columns facing the exits, with the pattern passing from one column to another. The design of Ozernaya station contains references to the nearby Ochakovskiye Ponds and Ozernaya Square: the blue-green background depicts aquatic vegetation, in particular, lilies, and highlights on the water.[9]The station is finished with granite, metal-ceramic slabs and stainless steel [10].

Underground concourse No. 2 is connected to the platform by three escalator belts and has an exit from the northern side of Michurinsky Prospekt in the direction of the stopping and staging areas on Ozernaya Square [14].
