I assume this would be to make some type of secure room. Why not use steel studs to frame the wall and then steel security mesh before the drywall? Then you could build a floating wall that is typical used in basements.

Yeah... Drywall sure doesn't sound very secure... I'm looking for fire and storm resistence as well. Safety and security all in one. The room will be about 150 sq ft.
I am considering 8"x16" cinder blocks filled with concrete and rebar as an alternative to poured concrete walls.
