Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center

The Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center has welcomed visitors since its opening on November 2, 1992. The Corps Center is home to a museum that houses thousands of Aggie artifacts and a library with over 3,000 military research volumes.

More than 60 exhibits, over 600 photographs and thousands of pieces of memorabilia are on display in the museum. The most famous exhibit is the Metzger-Sanders gun collection. The collection is nationally  known and is continuously used for historical research.

Among the museum's numerous exhibits are those dedicated to various university-wide traditions, including the 12th  Man, Silver Taps and Muster, as well as some of the Corps' most cherished traditions, such as the Aggie Band, Final Review, Fish Drill Team, Parsons Mounted Cavalry and Ross Volunteers.

The Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center is located on the east side of the University Center Parking Garage on the Texas A&M University Campus. 

Buy a Brick
Former cadets and their supporters have been leaving their mark on campus for years through the Brick Campaign. Thousands of bricks dedicated to individuals can be seen in front of the Corps Center.

Bricks are purchased from the Corps Center and feature the name and class year of the individual. Money received from the sale of these engraved bricks is placed into an endowment that supports the operation of the Corps Center and helps provide scholarships for cadets. This self-sustaining concept is in keeping with the fact that the Corps Center was built solely through gifts and donations.
