From what I’ve heard, staying at the same school for undergrad and PhD isn’t really a big deal, especially if you are working in a different area of research, which according to your post you would be. It’s frowned upon much more to stay at the same school for your PhD and post-doc, because employers (universities) like to see that you’ve diversified your skills and knowledge. So if it’s a great program and you like it there I’d say go for it.
