The PCH-HQ sports offices, an apartment, a workshop, feed and gear storage, and a garage.
A mural featuring the life-cycle of pacific salmon adorns the side of the PCH-HQ.
The new incubation building now has a second story for storage and a boiler.

Not only does the oxygen building house the oxygen generators, but has space for a wet lab.
Inside the oxygen building, the oxygen generators produce medical grade oxygen to send to the raceways for rearing salmon fry and smolt.
The wet lab provides a space for fish pathology work and an area to prepare feed for the sport fish rearing area.

The roof provides a nice covered space between the raceways and the incubation building.
Inside the incubation building is a small area that provides direct access to incubation module 4 and to all the incubation modules via a corridor (to the left).
A friendly reminder from the manager!

King salmon and rainbow trout are incubated in Heath trays here in incubation module 4.
The covered corridor to incubation modules 1-3 provides a secondary pathology barrier and helps keep down dust and dirt from the outside.
Incubation modules 1-3 are outfitted with Kitoi Box incubators for late and early-run sockeye salmon as well as coho salmon.

Sockeye salmon rear in large containers called raceways. Throughout the summer, Pillar Creek Hatchery staff feed and monitor the young salmon until release.
This large head box collects water from two wells. The water is distributed to the incubation modules via gravity.
An alternate view of the sockeye raceways shows the oxygen contactors (rectangular aluminium boxes). These contactors increase the oxygen distribution to the water in the raceways.

This small shed, the “dugout”, houses the controls for the wells, feed for the sockeye, and a break room for the hard-working staff.
