The kanji 院院 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side, 阜 (こざとへん), represents a mound or a slope, which can be extended to suggest a location. The right side, 完 (かん), is the phonetic component, indicating the sound "in." Thus, the character originally meant a building or place located on a slope or a raised area, and it evolved to represent any institution or establishment.
