Cephas Kwaku Adjorlolo is recorded as a Ghanaian student enrolled on the Architectural Association’s (AA) five-year Diploma programme, in London, in September 1962, continuing within the school until his Fifth Year, in 1964-65, when his final thesis was for a School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. It appears that he did not complete the year and he continued his studies within the AA’s Department of Tropical Studies ‘General Course’, the following academic year, receiving his AA Diploma in 1967. Details of his early education are not clear to us but his arrival at the AA, in 1962, pre-dates the exchange programme between the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and the AA - the two institutions having entered into aa contract in 1963 to work together to develop the architecture programme at KNUST. After completing his AA Diploma, Adjorlolo returned to Ghana and by 1969 was residing in Keta. By the 1980s he is listed as a chartered architect practicing from Winneba Road, Accra. At the time of this death, in 2011, he was described as having a Doctorate and being a retired architect, who had lived in Airport West residential area of Accra.
