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 is based in one central campus in the Town Centre (however up until recently it was three campuses spread out throughout the whole urban area). In 2007 it became part of the new South West College.

Location

The campus building is located directly north of the main town centre, fronting the River Strule and conveniently next to the town's main bus station. Opposite the river is the location of what will be the Omagh Civic Arts Centre (completion due sometime around October 2007), and already a planned pedestrian bridge will link the two landmark buildings.
