Sportspark, the University of East Anglia's (UEA) multi-million pound sports facility, has seen a 12 per cent increase in annual turnover to nearly £3m.
According to the Norwich Evening News, the 10-year-old facility is planning to develop a gymnastics centre, expand the four-pitch SoccerPark and build an additional 25 metre pool.
Mr Nicholls, director of PE and sport, was quoted as saying: “The university and county motto is 'do different', and Sportspark is a prime example of this approach.
“The university allowed me to challenge existing design and management practice to develop a completely new approach and philosophy for university and community sport.”
The park is part of UEA, but operates as a separate business.
