The possessive case is a noun followed by [a skimming s], which translates to "who's".
As you may have noticed, [teachers' officeHere teacher is in the plural form [teachers】。This is because the teacher's office is shared, that is, in general, there will be many teachers sharing the same office, and this office is not used by one teacher alone.
