Omagh College of Further Education (often referred to as just Omagh College or "The Tech" by locals) is a college in Omagh, County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. The college, which is in Omagh's town centre, is a campus of the South West College.

Location

The campus building is located north of the main town centre, fronting the River Strule and next to the town's main bus station.[citation needed] Opposite the river is the location of what was (as of October 2007) due to be the Omagh Civic Arts Centre, and a pedestrian bridge was planned to link the two buildings.[needs update]

Building

The main four-story college building, which opened in October 2005, comprises a curved central area, with 'wings' coming out of the North and West sides.
