Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'teacher(s)' modifies 'college' to denote a college for training teachers, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the institution's purpose. This modifier + institution pattern (and the possessive/compound spelling variation) is common cross-linguistically and does not obscure the meaning.
Etymology
The name teachers college comes from schools set up to train people as teachers at a college. These colleges taught how to teach children, so the phrase now means 'a college that trains future teachers'.
