| Omagh Forums Network Meeting
The meeting is an excellent opportunity for learning new things, and just as importantly, to network with other local community groups. So we look forward to seeing you there.
Our speakers are as follows:
Gavin Boyd – Communications Lead, from The Strategic Investment Board – As well as having an opportunity to visit the site’s viewing platform which will give visitors an opportunity to see the scale and pace of the Strule Shared Education Campus construction programme in much greater detail than what can be viewed from outside the site. Also visitors will see how sharing has been built into the designs of each building and how the campus will operate when it goes live in 2028.
After the visit’s to the viewing platform he will deliver a presentation on the Strule Shared Education Campus which will include an update on construction progress, an overview of the shared education model, and the community use of the campus facilities. He will then facilitate an open discussion about the campus and provide an opportunity for attendees to look at the detailed designs for the buildings on the campus.
