"Facility", i.e. "ease" is a weird name for a building, still can't fit that into my head.
Just like the expression "do a diversion" during the WWII back home came to mean "blow something up"... because it was the preferred method of diverting the enemy's attention from the actual targets, and nobody ever heard any other meaning of the word. The "diverzant" was the usual dynamite-and-fuse guy.
