The kanji 庁庁 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The left side is the radical 广, which represents a shelter or building, and the right side is 丁, which provides the phonetic component and originally meant "nail" or "small part" but here it gives the sound. The combination suggests a "building" where governmental or administrative "nails" (in the sense of small parts or units) are located; an office or agency. Over time, it came to specifically represent government offices.
