Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'toilet' (a room for toilets) combined with 'facility' (a building or provision for a specific use) yields a place provided for toilets. This is a common, cross-linguistic noun+noun construction and a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended public restroom meaning.
Etymology
The noun toilet facility puts together toilet (a room for going to the toilet) and facility (something provided to help people). So it creates the clear image of a built place with toilets for 'public use', which is why it means a room or building containing toilets people can use.
